The House of Representatives should support the Nicaraguan people in their peaceful pursuit of democracy and actions by the U.S. & international community to hold the Ortega regime accountable for its human rights violations & violent crackdown on dissenters. It may be a simple gesture, but adopting this resolution would send a strong, bipartisan message.
This non-binding legislation won’t accomplish anything, and Congress should instead advance a sanctions package to increase pressure on the Ortega regime. Alternatively, the U.S. should leave the Ortega government alone and allow it to govern how it sees fit.
