Migrants Deported to Panama Jungle Camp Face Uncertain Future

Migrants deported to Panama are being held in a camp in the Darién province, facing an uncertain future. Over 100 asylum seekers from around the world are being held in the camp, surrounded by fences and armed guards. Many of the migrants have agreed to be repatriated, but others have refused due to safety concerns or lack of documentation. The Trump administration's efforts to deport challenging individuals to other countries is putting pressure on Latin American countries, like Panama, to facilitate these deportations. The migrants at the camp, including women fleeing the Taliban and Christian converts fleeing the government in Iran, are being held without clear legal basis, according to a United Nations special rapporteur.
