Official record excerpt
Notice of November 24, 2020 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851 , I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 ) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the situation in Nicaragua. The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests that began on April 18, 2018, and the Ortega regime's systematic dismantling and undermining of democratic institutions and the rule of law, its use of indiscriminate violence and repressive tactics against civilians, as well as its corruption leading to the destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on November 27, 2018, must continue in effect beyond November 27, 2020. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1622(d) ), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13851 with respect to the situation in Nicaragua. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. THE WHITE HOUSE, November 24, 2020. [ FR Doc. 2020-26320 Filed 11-24-20; 11:15 am] Billing code 3295-F1-P

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
