U.S. Deportations Create Crisis in Panama as Hundreds of Migrants Remain Stranded
The U.S. has deported nearly 300 migrants, including families and children, to a hotel in Panama, where harsh conditions have sparked outcry and pleas for help from the detainees. Reports indicate that many deported individuals, particularly from India, are seen crying for assistance from the windows of the hotel. Following public pressure, some deportees have been relocated to a remote jungle camp, causing further concern for their safety. The situation has drawn international attention, with India seeking consular access and Panama grappling with a humanitarian challenge as migrants request freedom. Amidst this, a Chinese woman reportedly escaped the facility, only to be recaptured by authorities.
