Migrant crossings at Panama’s Darien Gap plunged to nearly nothing in May and June, an important indicator of illegal immigration to the United States.
The Darien Gap, situated between Colombia and Panama, serves as one of the world’s primary gateways for would-be illegal aliens hoping to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that migrant crossings at the Darien Gap dropped 99.98 percent for May and June of this year compared to crossings in August 2023 — when U.S.-bound illegal immigration through that treacherous jungle had peaked.
For example, in a single month under former President Joe Biden, migrant crossings at the Darien Gap exceeded 82,000. For comparison, in May of this year, there were 13 migrant crossings at the Darien Gap and in June of this year, there were only 10 crossings.
“The dangerous Darien Gap trek is notorious for exposing migrants, including children and the most vulnerable, to sexual abuse, trafficking, and exploitation,” DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement:
