   Note that the chart above shows an important increase in Darién Gap migration from 2018 to 2019, when Donald Trump was in the White House. This was curtailed by the pandemic in 2020, but shows that Trump's first-administration policies didn't deter people.

     Though the number of people transiting the jungle region dropped 42% from record 2023 (520,085 --> 302,203), 2024 was the 2nd heaviest year ever for Darién Gap migration.

     Panama reported 4,849 people migrating through the Darién Gap in Dec 2024, the fewest since Mar 2022. A likely sign of people delaying migration plans after Trump's election.
