I was curious, so I tried to find the article. Here is an excerpt from NPR that I found first:
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the US sent the deportees to Panama, and all of this is happening at their governments discretion. Obviously they are in this situation because of the US, which I am not happy about, but it doesn't seem to follow that the Trump regime is sending people to concentration camps based on this event.
Edit: Someone else linked the original article, which has more details.
Context, the deportees aren't even all from Central / South America. At least one mentioned was Iranian. So it seems the US is just sending people to Panama who didn't even necessarily originate from there, so that the US doesn't have to deal with them anymore. Seems disgusting.
Panama is accepting planes with random people because of US threats to its sovereignty (canal). While it could absorb 50 or so new Panamanian "tourists" who might well migrate north again, making it not Panama problem, it is sure that they expect to receive more under condition of "making them stay"
