Deportation Deception: Venezuelan Migrants Stranded in Panama

Migrant Crisis in Panama: Deported Venezuelans Struggle to Return Home David, Panama – A growing number of Venezuelan migrants, recently deported from the United States, are finding themselves stranded in the streets of David, Chiriquí province, Panama. Many lack the financial resources to continue their journey back to their home country. The situation highlights the vulnerability of migrants and the complexities of international deportation policies. The video report by TVN Noticias features interviews with several migrants who describe feeling deceived by US authorities. One migrant, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "They told us we were signing an executive order to stay for at least a year, but it was actually our deportation papers." The migrants describe a difficult journey, lacking resources and facing uncertainty about their future. The video also shows the migrants sleeping in the streets near churches and commercial centers, seeking assistance to reach Colombia and eventually Venezuela. Their stories underscore the human cost of migration and the urgent need for humanitarian aid and support for those facing deportation. The report concludes with a plea for solidarity from the community and the Panamanian government to assist these stranded migrants in their return journey.
