Panama has transferred about one-third of the deportees from various nations it had received from the United States to a camp in its Darien province Wednesday, an area that became the main thoroughfare for migrants traveling from South America to the U.

A group of nearly 100 migrants deported from the U.S. to Panama last week has been moved from a hotel in the capital to the Darien jungle region in the south of the country, Panama's government said on Wednesday.

The United States has deported hundreds of migrants to Panama after they refused to return to their home countries voluntarily. According to a Panamanian official, these people will remain in the country until other nations agree to accept them.
