00:00Panama has released dozens of migrants who were held in a remote camp for weeks after
00:05being deported from the United States under the condition that they would leave the country
00:10within 30 days.
00:12The release follows weeks of lawsuits and human rights criticism.
00:16The migrants, mostly from Asian countries, were part of a deal between Trump's administration,
00:20Panama and Costa Rica, to accelerate U.S. deportations.
00:24Right now I don't have any information about where I should wait or sleep because all of
00:33us suddenly come here, no money, no information, so it's really a bad situation.
00:40Hundreds, including families with children, were sent to the two Central American nations
00:47as a stopover while awaiting return to their respective home countries.
00:53It is stated that deportees could extend their stay by 60 days if needed, but many
00:59remain uncertain about their next steps.
