Dealing with Trump in His Second Presidency

What can Mexico do in its dealings with Donald Trump? It can show its strength. And it has plenty.

Republican-led states have deployed their police agencies to the border, heeding Texas governor Greg Abbott’s call to arms.

Recent reforms to Nicaragua’s Constitution eliminate governmental commitments to environmental protection.

The reforms “institutionalize nepotism, and subordinate public institutions to the absolute control of the presidential family.”

Extreme right-wing groups in Latin America have found a wellspring that draws from historical revisionism and political incorrectness.

Almost four years after the “inauguration,” the center is closed, with the pink paint and the giant photo of Ortega and Murillo peeling off.

“Apart from absolute monarchies, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a constitution that concentrates so much power in the hands of the executive.”

Illegal arrests have taken place in at least ten departments of Nicaragua, including Leon, Masaya and Esteli, says a monitoring organization.

This is the same repressive policy that the Ortega regime has been carrying out for several years: barring return to some Nicaraguans.
