The strategies implemented by the Panamanian government to reduce the flow of migration through the Darien Gap seem to finally be paying off.
On top of deportation flights, the country has set up razor wire fences and deployed troops to funnel migrants along a single path through the 70-mile stretch. By doing this, Panamanian officials say it is easier to track and create safer conditions for migrants traveling towards the U.S, facilitating identifying people who can be quickly deported.
