Panama’s government has begun the mass expulsion of undocumented immigrants on U.S.-funded flights. On Tuesday, Panamanian officials deported at least 29 Colombian migrants who had crossed into Panama through the deadly Darién Gap. Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has made blocking asylum seekers from crossing the Darién jungle a central issue in his government. In July, Panama unveiled a deal with the Biden administration to deport more migrants in the region.
