“….. he said, adding that he asked a senior Panamanian official why there has been such a decrease in migration through the Darien Gap and received a one-word reply, “Trump.”” “The Darien Gap is a 60-mile dense rain forest that connects Panama and Colombia. No roads run through the gap, meaning that migrants traveling north from South America have to cross the treacherous terrain on foot. Migrants who enter the gap and attempt to cross often do so without proper supplies or enough food and water. Sickness from drinking the river water or injuries in the Darien Gap can be deadly since the lack of roads provides little opportunity for rescue.” “About 1.5 million migrants from 170 countries passed through the Darien Gap from 2021 to mid-2024, according to estimates by the Center for Immigration Studies. About 45% of those migrants did reach the U.S. border, Bensman said.”
