Nicaragua's unlikely opposition faces rocky road to defeat Ortega

Lesther Aleman, a lanky and bespectacled 20-year-old student, had never taken part in a protest until April when he became the public face of a revolt that has shaken the rule of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.

The straight-'A's student won national fame when in a live broadcast he called Ortega a "murderer" for the violent repression of protests that left more than 200 people dead. The crackdown reawakened memories of Nicaragua's decade-long civil war that ended in 1990.

Aleman and another 40 student leaders, some still in their teens, went into hiding after receiving deaths threats. He now forms part of a broad new coalition of students, businessmen, farmers and environmentalists trying to negotiate a return to peace and Ortega's departure from office.

You could literally buy every illegal family crossing the border a new car and send them back home and it would cost LESS than the current process.

Ex-Trump adviser tells black Fox News guest he's out of his 'cotton-picking mind'

President Trump's former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie, told a black Democratic strategist appearing on "Fox & Friends" on Sunday that he's out of his "cotton-picking mind."

Bossie and strategist Joel Payne got into a heated exchange about the rhetoric used in debating immigration and other issues during a discussion moderated by Fox News host Ed Henry.

The men were discussing former CIA Director Michael Hayden posting a photo of Auschwitz in reference to the Trump administration's since-ended policy of separating immigrant families at the border when Bossie made the comment.

How US Policy In Honduras Set The Stage For Today's Mass Migration

The mainstream narrative often reduces the causes of migration to factors unfolding in migrants’ home countries. In reality, migration is often a manifestation of a profoundly unequal and exploitative relationship between migrant-sending countries and countries of destination. Understanding this is vital to making immigration policy more effective and ethical.

Through my research on immigration and border policing, I have learned a lot about these dynamics. One example involves relations between Honduras and the United States.

U.S. Roots of Honduran Emigration

I first visited Honduras in 1987 to do research. As I walked around the city of Comayagua, many thought that I, a white male with short hair in his early 20’s, was a U.S. soldier. This was because hundreds of U.S. soldiers were stationed at the nearby Palmerola Air Base at the time. Until shortly before my arrival, many of them would frequent Comayagua, particularly its “red zone” of female sex workers.
