		Under a US policy begun in the early 1980s, Nicaraguans were given work permits even if their applications for asylum were rejected, and some have now worked in the US for more than a decade.
		About 60,000 Nicaraguans are affected by the ruling; 24,000 applicants whose cases have not yet been heard, and the rest applicants who are appealing a denial of asylum in the US.
		In December, 1994, Nicaraguan President Violeta Barrios de Chamorro urged President Clinton to allow the Nicaraguans to remain in the US longer, because, she said, the Nicaraguan economy could not handle the return of thousands of Nicaraguans.

		MIAMI (CNN) -- The deportation of thousands of Nicaraguans who came to the United States in the 1980s to escape unrest in their homeland was blocked by a federal judge Tuesday, and an attorney for the immigrants hailed the move as a "major victory."
		Many of the Nicaraguans own homes and businesses in Miami and have young children who were born in the United States, and are thus citizens.
