It was a sad honor to go to Panama to meet the non-Panamanians the Trump administration deported there in February Politicians in the country kept saying these migrants were just "in transit." They told me they had nowhere else to go: theatlantic.com/internationa…
‘All They Want Is America. All They Have Is Panama.’

‘All They Want Is America. All They Have Is Panama.’

They thought they’d reached their journeys’ end. Now many of them have come full circle.
