The people he's shipping over here are most likely violent psychos, hardened by prison, possessing no skills and 80 IQs.

Most of them, yes. But Ortega has certainly slipped a few intel types in there to establish themselves as deep cover agents.

Political prisoners? Sure. The new Marielitos, same as the old Marielitos. And both under wacko-left presidents.

Nicaragua frees 222 political prisoners

80% of the "Mariel" Cubans were found to have no criminal background. It was Castro propaganda.

If they truly are opponents of Daniel Ortega, they will be opponents of Biden, too.

But I want Ollie North to do the background checks on them, not some Biden appointee.

So the big question is, who are we swapping to get them? Are we releasing a bunch of narcoterrorists and drug smugglers to Ortega? Or did one of our woke athletes get arrested with drugs in Managua?

These things are usually prisoner swaps.

Since Ortega is a big Putin ally, the Biden administration has to be using this as cover for doing something for Pootie Poot.

Speaking of central America and Nicaragua:

‘...How desperate was Obama to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran?

In his zeal not to offend Iran so he could complete the deal, Obama halted a George W. Bush administration investigation of drug and human trafficking by the Iran-funded terror group Hezbollah. According to “Politico,” the Obama administration angered investigators by interfering with and shutting down a well-funded and resourced Drug Enforcement Agency probe known as Project Cassandra.

In “The Secret Backstory of How Obama Let Hezbollah Off the Hook,” Politico senior investigator Josh Meyer wrote about the investigation the government called “Project Cassandra” and Ali Fayad, a Hezbollah operative suspected of, among other things, of using profits from drug-dealing to finance terror operations and to move weapons to Syria. ...’

Probably a lot of them are Catholic priests. Ortega arrested a bunch of them during their election brouhaha.

...Exiled Nicaraguan journalist Berta Valle ‘terrified’ by Russian troops in Central America
nypost ^ | 10/6/2022 | JENNIFER GOULD

An exiled Nicaraguan journalist says she fears a growing presence of Russsian troops in her homeland as the country grows increasingly isolated on the world stage.

Berta Valle — wife of imprisoned Nicaraguan opposition leader and presidential candidate Felix Maradiaga — told The Post on Monday that Nicaraguans are “terrified” of dictator Daniel Ortega’s decision to welcome Russian soldiers to the Central American country after seeing what they’ve done in Ukraine.

“Ortega invited the Russian military into Nicaragua. Publicly, he says Russia is supporting the military training of the Nicaraguan military. But we are terrified, because our country is hosting an army that commits atrocities against civilians in Ukraine,” Valle said.

Ortega issued a decree in June allowing foreign soldiers to operate inside Nicaraguan borders for various training, emergency response and law enforcement purposes....
