AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Costa Rica Football: Three Costa Rica players—Hearts forward Kenneth Vargas, Nashville SC’s Warren Madrigal, and Alajuelense midfielder Alejandro Bran—were dropped ahead of friendlies vs Colombia (June 1) and England (June 10) after an alleged shooting incident in San José’s Los Yoses neighborhood, where Bran’s vehicle was hit with bullets. Public Health: The CCSS surgical waitlist keeps climbing, reaching 204,622 insured patients waiting for operations as of April 2026—about 8% higher than a year earlier—with an average wait of 441 days. Infrastructure & Safety: Route 27 remains closed after a sinkhole near Coyolar (Orotina) damaged the highway following heavy rains; officials expect a temporary regulated lane for light vehicles and a Bailey bridge early next week. Immigration & Courts: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, asked a federal judge to block deportation to any country other than Costa Rica after a judge dismissed the U.S. human-smuggling case as “vindictive.” Local Culture & Travel: Jason Lewis says he moved to Costa Rica and is writing a nine-book fantasy series, while England’s warm-up friendlies in Tampa and Orlando are drawing criticism over huge empty-seat counts.
