She was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on August 20, 2025, during a routine immigration appointment. <\/p>\n\n<p>C\u00f3rdoba arrived in the United States in 2023 and applied for political asylum due to persecution by the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. Her 15-year-old son, Orlando C\u00f3rdoba, was killed during a demonstration in Nicaragua on May 30, 2018, on the country\u2019s Mother\u2019s Day. <\/p>\n\n<p>Human rights defender Pablo Cuevas recounted that, weeks before being detained, C\u00f3rdoba appeared before an immigration judge, who scheduled a second hearing for 2026. However, after receiving an appointment at the ICE office in San Antonio, Texas, she went to the office as instructed, \u201cand that\u2019s where, without any reason, they took her into custody,\u201d he emphasized. <\/p>\n\n<p>Immigration attorney Arno Lemus, who is handling C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s defense, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telemundo51.com\/noticias\/local\/madre-nicaraguense-detenida-por-ice-en-texas-podria-ser-deportada\/2692122\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Telemundo 51<\/a> that the April Mother is now facing an expedited removal process due to a processing error at the border.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cExpedited removal isn\u2019t a process of automatic deportation, but simply enduring the discomfort of defending the asylum claim from inside a detention center. She has the right to tell her story, speak about her life, and explain why she fears returning. She has a very sad story,\u201d the attorney clarified.<\/p>\n\n<p>The error in C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s case, Pablo Cuevas explained, is that \u201cwhen someone crosses the border and turns themselves in [asks for asylum], the authorities are supposed to note that the person has expressed credible fear and allow them to continue the process in freedom. However, neither she nor many others who crossed the border were marked as having credible fear,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n<p>Cuevas said that the office of attorney Lemus discovered, when searching for Yadira C\u00f3rdoba in the online court system, that she has a hearing scheduled for September 22, 2025.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a preliminary audience, even though she already had one \u2013 they\u2019re starting all over again from scratch,\u201d explained the human rights lawyer.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-en-busqueda-de-pruebas\"><strong>In search of evidence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Yadira\u2019s family, human rights organizations, released political prisoners, and the April Mothers Association (AMA) are all engaged in gathering evidence to support her case.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to Attorney Cuevas, the Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN) has been in contact with the office of Cordoba\u2019s attorney and offered \u201call the evidence they\u2019ve compiled on the assassination of her teenage son Orlando, and the persecution that she herself suffered in Nicaragua.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re speaking with experts, qualified people, whose words hold great weight. Also, I understand that the Center for Justice and International Rights (CEJIL) wants to speak with the lawyer. The April Mothers Association has already issued a statement, and there\u2019s been a meeting with Ronald Cordoba (Yadira\u2019s other son) who has offered a series of evidence,\u201d\u201d Cuevas declared.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-exilio-de-yadira-cordoba\"><strong>Yadira Cordoba\u2019s exile<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>In 2024, C\u00f3rdoba told <strong>CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> that she left Nicaragua due to <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/madres-de-abril-exigir-justicia-por-mi-hijo-asesinado-me-costo-el-exilio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">subtle threats<\/a> that were delivered to her through the pastor of the church she attended. \u201cThey even told him to speak with me because they knew I was taking to the streets with the Nicaraguan flag, participating in marches and protests, and they asked him to advise me because they didn\u2019t want anything to happen to me,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n<p>Before moving to the United States, C\u00f3rdoba stayed in Costa Rica, where she arrived in 2021 to continue her pursuit of justice for the murder of her son Orlando. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to killing her son, the dictatorship had stolen her peace of mind. \u201cThey were persecuting me. I first moved to a different home in Nicaragua, but they didn\u2019t stop until they found me (\u2026) and that\u2019s why, so they wouldn\u2019t silence me, I had to leave the country,\u201d she explained at the time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yadira C\u00f3rdoba, a member of the April Mothers \u2014 women whose children were killed during the 2018 protests in Nicaragua \u2014 is being held at a detention center in San Antonio, Texas, while awaiting her political asylum hearing in the United States.
