Colombia and Panama Plan a Legal Jungle Route for Migrants to US

 

  • System aims to displace mafia-controlled human traffickers
  • More than 500,000 people crossed the Darien Gap in 2023

Colombia and Panama will seek to build a single, organized route through the jungle that hundreds of thousands of migrants cross as they attempt to reach the US, according to Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

The two nations want this to be “legal and controlled by both governments,” Petro told reporters in New York after a meeting with Panama’s President Jose Raul Mulino on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
