Nicaragua Releases 50 Prisoners to House Arrest Nicaragua on Friday released another 50 people jailed for protesting against President Daniel Ortega's government, bringing the number freed since late February to about 200 in a unilateral action separate from a broader deal covering hundreds considered political prisoners. However charges were not dropped against the demonstrators, who were accused of "disrupting the public order and attacking the peace in Nicaragua." Instead they were for the most part transferred to a form of house arrest, short of the unrestricted freedom that the opposition has demanded in negotiations with government representatives. "Being at home I feel free," said freed student protester Franklin Rodrigo Artola Garcia. "I feel happy to be with my mother, with my father, all my family. ... And I am going to remain in the fight because Nicaragua must be free and it has to be 100 percent pure, zero corruption, zero murderers." Opponents: hundreds more held Opponents of Ortega have said more than 640 people were being held for political reasons, jailed in protests that broke out a year ago against the government. Ortega officials say the actual number is far smaller. Luis Alvarado, alternative representative from Nicaragua to the Organization of American States, said the prisoner releases are "proof of the commitment of the state and government of Nicaragua with the agreements reached so far" in the talks. Documents signed in the recent talks between the government and the Civic Alliance opposition coalition call for the International Committee of the Red Cross to propose an updated list of prisoners who should be freed by mid-May. Friday's released caught both the ICRC and the opposition by surprise. "The ICRC is not involved in the liberation ... announced today," said Alberto Cabezas, a Mexico-based spokesman for the organization. Azahalea Solis, a leader of the Civic Alliance and negotiator at the talks, said Thursday had her group received a "reconciled" list of people considered political prisoners. "We were not advised" about Friday's releases, Solis said. "We had agreed to implement the exit of the prisoners according to what was agreed with the government and the Red Cross." She added that the unexpected releases create confusion because "now we will have to review all the lists again." Diverse list According to a list provided by the Interior Ministry, those freed include students, farmworkers and professionals arrested for taking part in the protests, which erupted last April over a social security reform and broadened to demand Ortega leave office. They were released to families in the capital, Managua, and other cities. "Those who are seated at the negotiating table, may they continue to be firm on the issues they are raising and demanding," said Jeffry Ortega, another student released Friday. "And may the president cease the repression and let things be as they were before." The ministry did not specify whether all 50 were among those deemed political prisoners by the opposition. Solis said not all of those released were under house arrest, and some had different legal status and some left jail "without documents." Complete accounting needed In Washington, Joel Hernandez, rapporteur on the rights of persons deprived of liberty for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, called for a complete accounting of those arrested that is agreed upon by all parties. "The commission believes that the release process must be ordered, expedited, transparent and offering certainty on the legal status of those freed," Hernandez said. The releases came two days after the conclusion of negotiations between the government and the opposition where Ortega's representatives committed to "complete" release by mid-May of protesters, some of whom have been behind bars for nearly a year. The government also agreed to the nullification of trials, convictions and outstanding arrest warrants. "We continue to work to reach consensus and agreements on the matters of truth, justice, reparation and no-repetition, as well as ... democracy and electoral reforms that constitute the basis for holding elections according to the constitution of Nicaragua," said Alvarado, the Nicaraguan envoy to the OAS. Saturday march not authorized Also Friday, police announced that an opposition march called for Saturday would not be authorized. The government imposed a de facto ban last year that essentially quashed all anti-government demonstrations, though some smaller ones have been seen recently since the talks began. A police statement acknowledged that protest is constitutionally protected but said National Blue and White Unity, a coalition to which the Civic Alliance belongs, "does not have legitimacy to hold gatherings" and was "involved in serious disturbances of public order" in previous weeks. The coalition later dropped its plan for a march, which it had said earlier that it called in the context of an agreement during the talks that the government would commit to restoring freedoms of the media, expression and public mobilization. The Civic Alliance has said that 779 people were arrested because of the protests, while a truth commission formed by the government says there were 261. Ortega officials have accused protesters of being "coup-plotters" and "terrorists" bent on toppling his government. According to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, at least 325 people died in the unrest, 2,000 more were wounded and at least 52,000 fled the country for exile.

AP Fact Check: Trump's Mexico Mirage Giving himself credit for tough diplomacy, President Donald Trump is describing a burst of activity by Mexican authorities to keep Central American migrants from getting to the U.S. border. That's an apparent mirage as Trump retreats from his latest threat to seal off the U.S. from Mexico. Trump was wrong when he said last week that Mexico was doing "NOTHING" about migrants coming north. Mexico markedly tightened migration controls during the Obama administration and detained more than 30,000 foreigners in the first three months of this year. And it's not evident now that Mexico has suddenly cracked down as a result of his threat, "apprehending everybody" and making "absolutely terrific progress" in just a matter of days, as Trump put it Friday. Mexico's apprehensions of foreigners have not surged. During his visit to the border in Southern California Friday, Trump denounced a landmark immigration case he blamed on "Judge Flores, whoever you may be." The case in question was named for Jenny Flores, a migrant teenager from El Salvador in the 1980s, not a judge. Trump's recent statements on border matters and how they compare with the facts: Mexico Trump, on why he is pulling back on sealing the border imminently: "Because Mexico has been absolutely terrific for the last four days. They're apprehending everybody. Yesterday they apprehended 1,400 people. The day before was 1,000. And if they apprehend people at their southern border where they don't have to walk through, that's a big home run. We can handle it from there. It's really good. ... Mexico, for the last four days, it's never happened like that in 35 years." —remarks to reporters Friday. Trump: "Mexico has brought people back, they've told people you can't come in. And that's happened really, they've done, as I understand it, over 1,000 today, over 1,000 people yesterday, over 1,000 people the day before that. Before that they never did anything." — remarks to reporters Thursday. The facts: This depiction of Mexico going from strikeout to home run is inaccurate at both ends. Mexico reports that its interception and detention of migrants from the south are "about average" in recent months. Over the first three days of April, it apprehended 1,259 foreigners — not 1,000 or more a day, as Trump claimed. "There is no very substantive change," Mexico's foreign secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, said this week. "There has not been a drastic change." "I don't know what (Trump) was referring to," he added. Mexico is requiring migrants to register with authorities, but that's been the case since President Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office Dec. 1, Ebrard said. "What Mexico is doing as far as the review of the southern border — well, it's the same thing it has been doing since this government began." On Thursday, Mexico's ambassador to the U.S., Martha Bárcena, told The Associated Press her country is working to make its own border "more orderly" but "migration will never be stopped." Mexico took a substantial step in 2014, implementing a "Southern Border Plan" that established checkpoints and raids to discourage migrants from riding trains or buses from Guatemala. Its detention of foreigners, almost all Central Americans, surged to 198,141 over the next year, from 127,149. Last year, it detained 138,612. The White House has refused to substantiate Trump's claim about Mexico's migrant apprehensions. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday credited Mexico with the "will" to help stem migration, but he did not cite results. Even as Trump claimed a Mexican crackdown, Pompeo said the U.S. needs to see action from Mexico, telling Fox News that it's "one thing to talk about it." Trump has abandoned his vow to shut the border imminently. He now says that if Mexico does not continue cooperating on migrants, he will try to put heavy duties on autos from Mexico and revive his border-closure threat if that doesn't work. The Flores settlement Trump: "The Flores decision is a disaster, I have to tell you. Judge Flores, whoever you may be, that decision is a disaster for our country, a disaster." — remarks at a meeting with local officials in Southern California. The facts: There's no Judge Flores involved. Jenny Flores , a 15-year-old El Salvador native, was held in what her advocates said were substandard conditions, contending she was strip-searched in custody and housed with men. They launched a class-action lawsuit on behalf of migrant children in the country illegally. Her mother was a housekeeper in the U.S. who feared deportation if she picked up her daughter. The case worked its way to the Supreme Court, which sided with the government and against the girl's advocates. But the case gave rise to an agreement in 1997 setting conditions for the detention of migrant children and the codifying of those conditions in law a decade later. It generally bars the government from keeping children in immigration detention for more than 20 days and guides how they are to be treated.

Exuberant Met Exhibit Explores Art of Rock 'n' Roll Museum exhibits tend to be quiet. Not this one. In "Play It Loud," an exuberant show that can be heard as well as seen, the Metropolitan Museum of Art takes on the history of rock 'n' roll through iconic instruments on loan from some of rock's biggest names. There are flamboyant costumes worn by Prince and Jimmy Page, videotaped interviews with "guitar gods," even shattered guitars. The show runs here from April 8 through Oct. 1 before traveling to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, where it will be on view from Nov. 20, 2019 through Sept. 13, 2020. "We're looking at rock 'n' roll instruments as an art. They serve as muses, tools and visual icons, and many of them are hand-painted and lovingly designed," says Jayson Kerr Dobney, curator in charge of the department of musical instruments at the Met. He organized "Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock and Roll," with Craig J. Inciardi, curator and director of acquisitions at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For anyone who ever dreamed of climbing onstage at a rock concert for a closer look, this may be your best shot. "Instruments are some of the most personal objects connected to musicians, but as audience members we are primarily used to seeing them from far away, up on a stage in performance. This exhibition will provide a rare opportunity to examine some of rock 'n' roll's most iconic objects up close," says Dobney. Highlights include Chuck Berry's ES-350T guitar (at the entrance to the exhibit), John Lennon's 12-string Rickenbacker 325, an electric 500/1 "violin" bass on loan from Paul McCartney, Keith Moon's drum set, and the white Stratocaster played at Woodstock by Jimi Hendrix. Interviewed Monday by The Associated Press, Page, the guitarist and founder of Led Zeppelin, said that when curators approached him and explained their vision of the exhibit — you approach it through the Greco-Roman art galleries and then suddenly come upon Berry's guitar — he was all in. "My guitar was confiscated if I took it to the school field to play," he says. "That's the kind of respect given to guitars in those days. "So to see guitars from people I listen to ... it's absolutely phenomenal. It's humbling." Over 130 instruments are featured in the show, including ones played and beloved by the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Lady Gaga, Joan Jett, Metallica, Steve Miller, The Rolling Stones, Page and other rock 'n' roll greats. The collection spans 1939 to 2017. All the instruments are on loan, most by the musicians themselves, although Miller has promised to donate to the Met his 1961 Les Paul TV Special guitar, painted by surfboard artist Bob Cantrell. The show features its own rock 'n' roll soundtrack and is organized in thematic sections. "Setting the Stage" explores rock's early days in the American South of the late 1940s and early 1950s, when pianos, saxophones and acoustic guitars were among the instruments of choice. Soon, Berry helped revolutionize the sound, establishing the electric guitar as the genre's primary voice and visual icon. Also featured is a setup like that used by the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. After that performance, "thousands of rock bands were formed using that same lineup: two guitars, a bass and a drum set," says Dobney. The "Guitar Gods" section traces that phrase to Eric Clapton's stardom and a piece of 1966 graffiti in London proclaiming, "Clapton is God." Others dubbed guitar gods included Page, Jeff Beck, Pete Townsend and Hendrix. All exemplified virtuoso musicianship and awe-inspiring swagger. By the 1970s, women, too, were fronting bands and finding platforms for their own personae and skills, Dobney says. "The Rhythm Section" explores the sources of the genre's powerful rhythms, with accented backbeats created using a drum set and electric bass guitar. Even as guitars were lovingly painted, and sometimes even built by the musicians who played them (like Eddie Van Halen's red and white "Frankenstein" guitar, featuring a Fender-style body and neck with Gibson electronics), instruments were also famously destroyed by rock stars as part of their act. "It may be the only musical genre where destruction of instruments became a part of the performance," Dobney says. Featured is a fragment of a Hendrix guitar that he set on fire and smashed onstage at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967; a Gibson SG Special guitar destroyed by Townsend during a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for Rolling Stone (and preserved in Lucite); and a modified Hammond L-100 organ used by Keith Emerson as a "stunt instrument," which he would jump on, pull on top of himself, stick knives in and — in this instrument's case — set ablaze during performances. "Expanding the Band" explores the way the classic four-piece rock band was augmented by instruments like dulcimers, sitars and a range of experimental keyboards to expand the sound. "Creating an Image" opens with an enormous, jagged electric piano housed in acrylic with built-in lights, owned by Lady Gaga. That section also includes Prince's "Love Symbol" guitar and a dragon-embroidered outfit once worn by Page. "Creating a Sound" explores the technical side of rock music, with the amps, guitars and rigs used by Page, Keith Richards, Van Halen and Tom Morello. Each of the four rigs is accompanied by a videotaped interview with the artist explaining how they created their unique sound. The show ends with footage of some of rock's most iconic moments, along with decades of posters advertising groundbreaking concerts.

Exploring America's Newest National Park Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore attracts more than 3.6 million visitors every year, but that number is expected to grow because the 6,000-hectare site on the shore of Lake Michigan is now Indiana Dunes National Park — the country's newest. America's National Parks System includes more than 400 parks, monuments, conservation areas and historic sites. The federal agency — established in 1916 — is constantly changing. The 26 parks it originally managed have been removed from its list of properties. Some, like Michigan's Mackinac Island Park, were transferred to state holdings, and others, including South Carolina's Castle Pinckney Monument, were found to be too expensive to maintain. Although President Donald Trump drastically reduced the size of one park — Utah's Bears Ears National Monument — four parks have been created since he's been in office. The Dunes became the 61st national park in February. Among the first to visit after its designation changed were Bill and Betty Smith from Connecticut, who have visited the 60 other national parks. "What I want to see are predominantly the sand dunes. I think that's probably the standout feature of this new national park," Bill Smith said, adding, "I want to see some of the trail systems. I just want to get a sense of the place." Over a century in the making The newest national park may be the one that took the longest to get that designation, said park superintendent Paul Labovitz. "The name change here was 103 years in the making. The Indiana Sand Dunes National Park was proposed in 1916 by the first director of the national parks, Stephen Mather." But World War I and the need for steel mills on the lakefront to feed the war effort sidelined plans for the park. Later efforts to get the national park designation were squashed by industrialization of the neighboring Port of Indiana, the largest commercial port on Lake Michigan. Still, nature and the dunes found a way to thrive. In 2017 and 2018, Indiana lawmakers again presented the park legislation to Congress, but no action was taken. Lorelei Weimer, the park's executive director of tourism, said it took the historic government shutdown of 2019 to bring about the change. Due to the rushed nature of a several-hundred-page appropriations bill to fund the budget and reopen the government, an Indiana congressman was able to slip the park measure into the new legislation. "The fact that he was able to get it into the budget bill was a huge win for us," Weimer said. "None of us knew that was going to happen. That was one of the biggest pleasant surprises that we've had." The designation doesn't come with any regulatory or funding changes, but it does give the Dunes a status similar to the other big national parks such as Yellowstone and Yosemite. Dunes, wetlands, forest, prairie Indiana Dunes National Park has a varied landscape — most prominently, the massive sand dunes that can tower 58 meters above the beach, and migrate more than a meter a year. The park has a 26-kilometer-long shoreline along a lake that can produce waves eight meters high. Fourteen trail systems covering 80 kilometers wind through the park through its different habitats and cultural history. Labovitz said the park is also known as one of the most ecologically diverse places in North America, with more species of plants than the state of Hawaii. "There are upwards of 1,500 different species of plants found here. The numbers are impressive, but the kinds of plants are even more interesting. The Dunes is a place where the Artic meets the Temperate Forest, where the Eastern Deciduous Forest meets the prairie. So, all of the plants that are common or that grow in those places are found here." Because the Dunes are on a major migratory path, they are also home to more than 300 species of birds, including waterbirds such as loons and herons, birds of prey such as hawks and bald eagles, and a wide variety of songbirds. That attracts visitors from every U.S. state and approximately 50 countries across the world every year. "We have so many international visitors that we have 12 different little mini guides that we have translated into different languages," Weimer said. "That just gives you a good idea that this is not just a local attraction. It's an international attraction." It's also a uniquely American attraction, according to Bill Smith. "There's always something special about a national park. It's beautiful, it's unique. They're precious in terms of natural resources, the natural beauty, the wildlife. And so, it's just a part of exploring this great country."
