"Panama has taken in approximately one-third of deportees sent from the U.S., moving them to a camp in Darien as they await third-country resettlement."
"Security Minister Frank Abrego highlighted that a migrant's escape from a hotel reflects ongoing concerns about human traffickers targeting vulnerable deportees."
Panama has begun transferring a significant number of deportees from the U.S. to a camp in its Darien province, a critical passage for migrants. Affected individuals, primarily from Asian countries, are in a holding state as they decline voluntary repatriation. As these deportees await arrangements for third-country relocation, the Panamanian government maintains they are not detained, even though they are under police supervision. An incident involving a migrant escaping from a hotel further indicates the complexities involved in managing this situation amid rising concerns over human trafficking.
