Expelled official seeks asylum in United States
Nicaraguan consul Augustin Alfaro sought political asylum in the United States after United States authorities ordered his six Nicaraguan consulates closed. Alfaro left a federal building in New Orleans insisting he does not want to depart the country, timed to a 4 p.m. deadline. INS spokesman Duke Austin confirmed Alfaro filed an asylum application on the final day amid a delicate international dispute.
