Panama releases 65 detained migrants from U.S

PANAMA has released 65 migrants who were held for weeks in a remote camp after being deported from the United States, telling them they have at least 30 days to leave the central American nation.

Authorities said the people released on Saturday will have the option of extending their stay in panama up to 90 days if needed, allowing them to begin the legal process for resettlement or voluntary return to their homeland.

The group was released from the DARIEN  dangerous jungle region near the border with COLOMBIA and a key transit route for many migrants crossing from South America on foot.

 They had been in the camp since mid-February after their deportation from the US.

As part of the us administration’s policy of ramping up migrant deportations, panama reached a deal with WASHINGTON under which it received the deported third-country migrants, taking over the responsibility for their repatriation or resettlement
