Panama’s Migrant Authority registered a surge of U.S.-bound migrants passing through the Darién Gap jungle trail in September, largely driven by Venezuelans fleeing from their country in the wake of the fraudulent July 28 sham presidential election, the Associated Press (AP) reported over the weekend.
The surge recorded in September follows the launch of efforts led by the administration of President José Raúl Mulino to curb the flow of migrants passing through Panama’s territory en route to the United States after taking office in July.
The Darién Gap is a dangerous jungle trail that Panama shares with Colombia and the only land bridge that connects South and Central America. While an overwhelming majority of the hundreds of thousands of migrants who have passed through the Darién Gap are Venezuelan nationals, migrants from other South American nations such as Colombia and Ecuador, and Asian nations such as China, continue to pass through the trail en route to the United States. In 2023, Panama’s Migrant Authority documented 520,085 migrants crossing the Darién Gap.
