President Donald Trump has reportedly been sending illegal aliens to Nicaragua, and the media is going crazy that he may or may not have disclosed every little detail about the flights. What would you rather have – Biden running secret flights for illegals into the United States, or Trump sending illegal aliens to whatever country will take them?
At a glance:
• Nicaragua’s communist regime has been receiving U.S. deportation flights since President Trump took office
• Five deportation flights have arrived in Managua since January 20, according to exile newspaper Confidencial
• Flights are operated by subcontracted Global X Airlines but details about deportees remain hidden
• Ortega’s government stopped publishing figures on deportee arrivals in mid-2019
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio has highlighted Nicaragua’s role in contributing to the U.S. southern border crisis
Secret Deportation Program Exposed
Nicaragua’s communist regime under Daniel Ortega has been quietly accepting deportation flights from the United States, continuing a program that began during President Trump’s first administration. The cooperation between the U.S. and Nicaragua has remained largely hidden from public view, with flights carrying deported Nicaraguan nationals arriving regularly at Managua’s airport.
According to reporting by the exiled newspaper Confidencial, at least five deportation flights have landed in Nicaragua since January 20, 2023. The newspaper had to use real-time flight tracking platforms to uncover the operations after the Ortega regime stopped publishing deportee figures in mid-2019.
Clandestine Operations and Cover-ups
All the flights identified used the code “G66194 from Global X” and were operated by Global X Airlines under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The deportation flights departed from Alexandria, Louisiana, and Houston, Texas, using Airbus A320 aircraft to transport the deportees back to Nicaragua.
The arrivals of these flights involve a coordinated effort between Nicaraguan Police, Army, and migration officers, with planes being directed to a remote ramp away from public view. The flights are notably absent from Nicaragua’s National and International Airports Administration Company logs, demonstrating the secretive nature of the operations.
Political Implications and Border Crisis
While Daniel Ortega has not publicly criticized Trump’s deportation policies, his regime has been accused of “weaponizing” migration as a political tool against the United States. The dictator has strategically facilitated migration through Nicaragua toward the U.S. border while simultaneously accepting deportation flights.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has identified Nicaragua as a significant contributor to the ongoing southern border crisis. The Ortega regime appears to be using migration as leverage to pressure the U.S. government to lift sanctions imposed against his communist government.
The actual number and identities of deportees remain undisclosed by Nicaraguan authorities, adding another layer of opacity to the already secretive program. Despite calling for respect for migrant rights in public statements, Ortega’s government has made no effort to provide transparency about the fate of returning Nicaraguans.
