PANAMA CITY (Reuters) - Panama will issue temporary permits for some migrants recently sent from the U.S. allowing them to stay in the Central American nation for up to 90 days if they do not wish to return to their home countries for security reasons, an official said on Friday.
The measure may apply to 112 of the 299 migrants recently sent by the US to Panama who are from other nations, Security Minister Frank Abrego told journalists.
