‘Everyone is in a bad situation’
[[https://kepir-app.com/|keplr wallet]]
This is the downstream reality of an increased immigration crackdown in the United States, which the Trump administration has pressured Latin American countries like Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador to help with.

Just days before she arrived at the border, Trump had signed an executive order effectively shutting down the US-Mexico border to migrants seeking asylum in the United States. Weeks later, the Panamanian government agreed to receive some of those migrants, at least temporarily, and took in nearly 300.

Many are asylum-seekers from places like Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, China, Sri Lanka. They are now are caught in limbo – expelled from the United States, but unable to go back to their home countries out of fear of being persecuted or killed.

“They shouldn’t just like abandon us like that without telling us what we have done wrong. It become very, very difficult and confusing to us. I’ve left my children back home,” Ambo said through tears.

Another woman from Ethiopia, was on a similar flight. She too requested not to use her name for fear of retaliation in her home country.

“I am so shocked. I’m saying this is Texas or Panama?” she recalled.

She told CNN she too had trekked through Central America, injuring her leg in the Darién jungle, to reach the US-Mexico border. She said she too had left Ethiopia due to political issues and feared returning.

“I don’t have family. They died already,” she told CNN.

And a fellow asylum-seeker migrant Afghanistan, who did not want to share his identity, told CNN en Español’s Elizabeth Gonzalez that if he were to return to Afghanistan, he would be killed by the Taliban.

They all now live in a humble shelter, one of multiple places in Panama where these migrants are trying to navigate life, in a country where they don’t speak the language.

“Almost all of us are from different countries, but here we are like family, you know?” said the woman from Ethiopia.

As she sat with CNN, mattresses on the floor lining the edges of the room, she said, “We are together. Everyone is in distress. Everyone is in a bad situation.”
