Nosara Lately has learned from well-placed sources that ICE is planning to cease all operations and withdraw completely from Guanacaste.
“It’s a hellhole,” said one senior management figure. “I don’t know how we ever got into this place. It’s like Afghanistan.But worse.”
Many ICE employees in Guanacaste have not seen their families since the rains began in May. “I have children” said one. “They are growing up without me.”
One senior ICE official, who wished to remain anonymous, said negotiations were well underway all across Guanacaste to transfer all ICE operations over to local organizations and NGO’s. Here in the Nosara area, Nosara Lately has learned that ICE is nearing a final agreement with Super Nosara and the Nosara Conservation Alliance (NCA) to take over all aspects of ICE’s operations between Barco Quebrada and Ostional.
“ While we will regret the loss of ICE, everyone knows that NCA has been the rock of the community since the very first settlers arrived from Garza forty years ago,” said NCA spokesperson Jonathan Chacón Molina. “Super Nosara brings extensive experience in client-side relations to the table. Also, they sell extension cords. I think I speak for our entire organization when I say we see this as an important step forward in our efforts to protect the Maritime Zone.”
