为了打击继续破坏尼加拉瓜民主的金融机构和政府官员，美国政府根据第号行政命令，对安娜·朱莉亚·吉多·奥乔亚、保罗·奥奎斯特·凯利和国家农村基金（或称Caruna）实施了制裁。这些个人和实体使尼加拉瓜的丹尼尔·奥尔特加政权的腐败和压迫活动成为可能，并从中获益。“将吉多和奥奎斯特指定为制裁对象，促进了对奥尔特加政权和那些企图助长暴力活动的人进行追责。”国务卿蓬佩奥在一份声明中说。“将国家农村基金合作社指定为制裁对象，阻断了奥尔特加政权的另一个工具。”吉多是总检察长。有报道称，她帮助组建了一个检察官小组，与受到美国制裁的尼加拉瓜国家警察合作，针对政治犯罗织罪名。此外，根据这些报道，吉多设立的这个专门小组在过去两年里对因和平抗议而受到拘押的囚犯提出指控。
