After several days of heated anti-governments protests, 
the largest in decades, spawned from proposed changes to Nicaragua’s social security system, the death toll has climbed to 27. 
U.S. Embassy services in the capital city of Managua have been curtailed, while the state department has ordered those U.S. government employees and their families that are based here to leave the Central American country immediately, issuing this statement: “Political rallies and demonstrations are occurring daily, often with little notice or predictability… Some protests result in injuries and deaths.”
