Living in a shelter in Panama City, he faces language barriers, precarious legal status, and a lack of work rights or a clear path to permanent residency, highlighting the human toll of the policy and the limbo many migrants endure when there is no plan for what comes next.

England's World Cup Test: Exploiting Panama's Shifting Defenses

Panama press and defend in a dynamic 4-4-2 that can morph into a 5-3-2 or 5-4-1, posing defensive resilience but limited finishing since Carrasquilla’s injury. England should try to play around Panama by targeting the space between wing-backs and center-backs, keep wide players high, and use Harry Kane’s movement to unlock the lines; Panama’s motivation may be lower since they’re out of the group, though quick counters and crosses from the wings remain a threat.

Screwworm Resurgence Tests US Cattle Defenses in Texas

After decades of containment, the New World screwworm surged in Panama around 2023, rising to thousands of cases and spilling north through Central America and Mexico before turning up in Texas cattle, a goat in the state and a dog in New Mexico.

Detroit murder fugitive arrested in Panama after 30-year manhunt

A Detroit man who fled after a 1993 murder for more than 30 years was finally arrested in Panama City, Panama.
