Nicaraguan exiles in Miami asked Trump to pursue Daniel Ortega like Maduro, including criminal charges for drug trafficking.
Aida Carrión-Vanegas, president of Nicaragüenses-Americanos Unidos por la República, made the request in an EFE interview.
The exiles sent a letter to Trump, senators, and congressmen requesting measures against Ortega.
They also asked to declare the FSLN a terrorist organization and revive the Nica Act of 2018.
