Many migrants from various countries arrived at the U.S. border seeking asylum but faced detention and an unexpected transfer to Panama instead. Stripped of their personal belongings and legal representation, they found themselves confined in a hotel, leading to distressing incidents including suicide attempts. This action reflects the Trump administration's challenge in handling deportations of migrants from nations unwilling to accept them. The solution involved flying hundreds of such migrants to Panama, which is now under pressure to accommodate these individuals amid political tension surrounding U.S. policy changes.
At the hotel, at least one person tried to commit suicide, according to several migrants. Another broke his leg trying to escape.
U.S. officials began flying hundreds of people, including people from Asian, Middle Eastern and African countries, to Panama.
