The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, accused the American president, Donald Trump on Wednesday, of committing “horrific crimes” against migrants deporting them, separating families and having sent hundreds of Venezuelans to the Megacárcel of El Salvador.

The Trump El Salvador since March to 252 Venezuelans that he accused, without presenting evidence, of integrating the of Aragua. The president of that Central American country, Nayib Bukele, held them in the prison for gang members.

“They are horrific crimes,” said Nicaraguan President in an act for Labor Day in the Central Plaza of Managua, after ensuring that Trump turned El Salvador into “the Immigrant prison.”

Ortega, the nearly Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, described as “crime against humanity” the separation of a two -year -old Venezuelan girl from her mother her deportation from the United States.

“It is a crime against humanity, also all prisoners who are everywhere without any law,” he added in his speech, along with his wife and co -governor, Rosario Murillo.

Ortega, who governs since 2007 and promoted the recent constitutional reform that eliminated the independence of powers in Nicaragua, criticized Trump for acting in his anti -migrant policy “against the decisions of the judicial powers of the United States.”

«He is acting [Trump] as in the United States with his arrival at the government all powers disappeared and power is and he decides what is done and what is not done, ”said Nicaraguan President.

The United States sanctioned 250 officials of what described “dictatorship” of Nicaragua on April 18, when seven years of massive anti -government protests that resulted in more than 300 dead, according to UN figures, were completed.

Nicaragua is under US sanctions for the repression of those 2018 protests, which Ortega and Murillo considered an attempted coup d’etat sponsored by Washington.

Ortega, a 79 -year -old ex -year -old who also ruled Nicaragua in the 1980s, is accused of his critics and humanitarian organizations of establishing a “ dictatorship” with his wife Murillo, 73.
