US sanctions over 100 Nicaraguan officials and relatives with travel ban

The United States imposed travel bans on over 100 Nicaraguan officials and their family members, citing human rights abuses. The sanctions followed the death of imprisoned activist Brooklyn Rivera, who criticized Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife Rosario Murillo. The U.S. has barred more than 2,350 Nicaraguan officials and family members from entering the country.
