What is happening to Venezuelan migrants at the Costa Rica-Panama border?

Venezuelan migrants are currently stranded at the Costa Rica-Panama border, sleeping on the streets in a state of limbo. They cannot move forward into Panama due to stringent immigration policies and are unable to return home to Venezuela. Many have abandoned their hopes of reaching the United States following increased deportations under the Trump administration. The situation has escalated with Panamanian riot police blocking migrant caravans from crossing into the country, leading to confrontations and tensions. President Jose Molino has proposed repatriating these migrants to Colombia due to strained diplomatic relations with Venezuela. This creates a humanitarian crisis where migrants are trapped between countries, highlighting the broader impact of U.S. immigration policies on Latin American migration patterns and regional stability.
