Migrant crossings through long-troubled Darién Gap plummet to near zero amid Trump crackdown

The number of migrants crossing the dangerous Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama has dramatically fallen from a high of 82,000 per month under the Biden administration to just 10 in June, following the implementation of stricter deportation policies under Trump.
Editor’s Note: This sharp decline highlights how policy changes can directly impact migration patterns. While the drop may ease pressure on border resources, it also raises questions about the humanitarian consequences of deterrence strategies and whether migrants are simply finding other, possibly riskier, routes. The story underscores the ongoing debate over how to manage migration effectively and humanely.
