American officials have announced millions of dollars in rewards for information aimed at tackling human smuggling operations in the Darien Gap, the treacherous jungle path between Panama and Colombia that many migrants take on their way to the U.S.
Concretely, the State Department is offering up to $8 million. They include up to $2 million for information that can lead to the arrest or conviction of any leading member of a smuggling operation, as well as up to $1 million for information that can disrupt organizations' finances.
