From Breitbart: The number of illegal U.S.-bound migrants passing through the dangerous Darién jungle plummeted by nearly 99 percent during the month of February 2025 when compared to February 2024, Panama’s Migrant Authority revealed this week.
In its most recently published statistical report, Panama’s Migrant Authority indicated that it recorded a total of 408 migrants passing through the Darién Gap during February 2025 — an amount that represents a 98.9-percent drop from the total of 37,166 migrants logged during February 2024. Similarly, February 2025’s statistics indicate a 81.68 percent reduction in the number of migrants when compared to the 2,229 migrants recorded by the Authority during January 2025.
Out of February’s total, Panama’s Migrant Authority further detailed in its report, 151 were Venezuelan nationals, 43 Cameroonian, 22 Bangladeshi, 21 Colombians, 17 Iranians, and 16 Nepalese nationals, with the remainder comprising nationals of several other Latin American, African, and Asian nations.
The Darién Gap is a dangerous 30-mile-wide, 100-mile-long jungle trail shared by neighbors Panama and Colombia and the only land bridge that connects South and Central America.
Annual numbers of migrants crossing through the Darien Gap during the Biden administration have been reported as follows:
- 2021 – 133,726
- 2022 – 248,284
- 2023 – 520,085
- 2024 – 302,203
In recent weeks, it has been reported that the flow is now beginning to reverse, as many migrants are going back south through the Darien Gap to return home, after President Trump secured the U.S. border.
