US, Panama, and Colombia join forces to halt Darien Gap migration.

The Biden administration has announced a trilateral campaign with Panama and Colombia to halt illegal migration through the Darien Gap, an area of dense jungle where tens of thousands of migrants have already crossed this year. The three countries will launch a 60-day campaign to try and curb the flow of migrants that reached nearly 90,000 in just the first three months of this year. The plan includes using "new lawful and flexible pathways for tens of thousands of migrants and refugees as an alternative to irregular migration" and helping to reduce poverty and create jobs in the Colombian and Panamanian communities.
