PANAMA CITY (Reuters) -Panama's government expects to start deportation flights for migrants who crossed the country's dangerous Darien jungle in two to three months, the country's chief of migration Roger Mojica said Friday.
The flights will be paid by the United States under a recent agreement that the two countries closed earlier this month.
