Panama deports migrants crossing Darién Jungle

Panama deported 30 Colombian migrants on Saturday who had entered through the Darién jungle, as part of a recent agreement with the U.S. This follows the first enforcement of the agreement last Tuesday when Panama deported 29 Colombians with criminal records. The agreement, signed by President José Raúl Mulino in July, involves U.S. funding to support Panama’s deportation efforts. The Darién jungle has become a major migration route, with over 231,000 people crossing it this year alone. While Mulino initially promised to “close” the Darién to migrants, he later clarified that deportations would focus on individuals with criminal records. The jungle poses significant dangers to migrants, including natural hazards and criminal activity.
