Adding to the existing section: "In 2012...[ reflecting significant migration driven by socio-political instability in Nicaragua.]" This migration has been influenced by a history of authoritarian rule, economic disparities, and political unrest in Nicaragua, the intensification of these factors increased under Ortega's presidency which has seen "over 200,000 citizens forced into exile due to persecution by the Nicaraguan dictatorship"

''Many Nicaraguans have settled in the northern zone of Costa Rica, a region integral to the national food supply. It's important to note that Nicaraguan migrants historically have contributed significantly to various local economies, especially in agriculture and domestic work. However, recently even more than prior years they are facing social and legal challenges due to their immigration status and the laws concerning immigration and refugee rights in Costa Rica.''
