Panama's President José Raúl Mulino has vowed to close the Darién Gap, a dangerous route for migrants, as a part of his strategy to curb illegal immigration.
Despite the Biden-Harris administration's promises for aid, including a program for removal flights, practical support has yet to materialize, leaving Panama in a precarious position.
Panama officials stress the urgent need for logistical support, as new waves of Venezuelan migrants are fleeing violence, further complicating the immigration crisis.
To deter migration, Panama aims to increase deportations of Venezuelans back to Colombia, highlighting a shift in strategy that hinges on international assistance.
