The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

All 222 of the US-backed activists intentionally betrayed their country, instigating violence, terrorism, and economic destabilization in Nicaragua as they sought to sell its sovereignty and self-determination for personal gains. They do not deserve to be recognized as Nicaraguans, nor should they live in the Latin American nation.

Pro-establishment narrative

Ortega's regime may have unilaterally decided to release the individuals and send them to the US, but this was not a gesture of goodwill toward them or Washington. It dehumanizes dissent and implies that opponents are not Nicaraguans domestically while creating a bureaucratic and legal problem in the US. These dissidents have now become stateless.
