Migrant crossings through long-troubled Darin Gap plummet to near zero amid Trump crackdown
Panamas notorious Darien Gap, once a treacherous corridor for tens of thousands of U.S.-bound migrants, including dangerous criminals, is now virtually deserted amid President Donald Trumps aggressive immigration crackdown and Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulinos vow to shutter the deadly route.Migrant crossings in the remote 2,600-mile jungle trek connecting Colombia to Panama which officials described as "notorious for exposing migrants, including children and the most vulnerable, to sexual abuse, trafficking, and exploitation" have plummeted to just 10 in June, according to figures released by both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Panamas National Migration Service.The new figures mark a staggering 99.98% drop from the routes peak under the Biden administration in August 2023, when more than 82,000 migrants surged through the gap in a single month, according to the DHS.The sharp decline follows months of coordinated enforcement measures, including Trumps mass deportation campaign and Mulinos push to seal off the passage with increased immigration patrols.TRUMP TELLS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO 'SELF-DEPORT' USING CBP HOME APP IN NEW VIDEOOfficials say the joint effort is deterring migrants before they even begin the perilous journey."In Panamas Darien Gap, migrants arenow turning BACK before they even reach our borderonly 10 migrants crossed in June," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement Thursday."This is more than a 99.98% drop from the Biden high when 82,000 illegal aliens crossed in a single month. The world is hearing our message that Americas borders are closed to lawbreakers.Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, we have themost secure border in American history."ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS STORM US BEACHES AS COAST GUARD BATTLES MIGRANT SURGE THAT ROSE UNDER BIDENThe White House emphasized that under Trumps immigration policies, the U.S. Border Patrol has not released a single illegal migrant into the country in recent months."While immigration experts and the mainstream media speculate over why fewer migrants are trying to illegally enter the United States, the real reason is evident to anyone paying attention, including the migrants themselves: President Trump," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement Friday to Fox News Digital. "Word of the United States secure border has spread so far around the world, that migrants arent even willing to make the dangerous journey to get here because they know theyll be turned away. In recent months, Border Patrol has released zero illegal aliens into the United States. Thats a stat known all the way from here to the Darien Gap."McLaughlin added that the administration remains focused on removing those already in the country unlawfully."President Trump and Secretary Noem have been clear: If you come to our country illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and deport you. Thats a promise," McLaughlin said in a statement Friday to Fox News Digital.CENTRAL AMERICA STEPS UP TO HOUSE DEPORTED MIGRANTS AFTER TRUMP MAKES CLEAR U.S. WON'T BE 'DOORMAT': EXPERTThe DHS also issued a warning to undocumented immigrants currently residing inside the U.S., encouraging them to voluntarily depart through the CBP Home App, a platform that offers cash incentives to self-deport."With the most secure border in American history, DHS is focused on deporting those who break our nations laws," DHS said on Thursday. "If you are here illegally, use the CBP Home App to take control of your departure and receive financial support to return home. Illegal aliens who use the CBP Home App to self-deport also receive cost-free travel and a $1,000 exit bonus, paid after their return is confirmed through the app."
