WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 11: Sen. Katie Britt speaks on border security and Title 42 during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on May 11, 2023 in Washington, DC. is calling on the Biden Administration to exert diplomatic pressure to free ministers of an evangelical church founded by an Alabamian who are imprisoned in Nicaragua.
“Any options that are in the toolbox should be used to force Nicaragua to remedy this situation,” Britt said. Leaders of the ministry deny the charges and earlier this year said they hadn’t even seen charging documents. Instead, critics of the regime said it is part of an ongoing campaign against Christian ministries and reflects the government’s uneasiness with mass religious gatherings and organizations.Britt’s speech follows efforts by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, and U.S. Reps. Robert Aderholt , Gary Palmer , Dale Strong , Jerry Carl , Barry Moore and Terri Sewell on behalf of the church.
