Dozens of deportees have 30 days to leave Panama after being deported from the U.S. Panama released 65 migrants from China , Russia , Pakistan , Afghanistan , Iran , Nepal and other nations.

The deportees were part of a deal stuck between the Trump administration and Panama and Costa Rica as a stopover while authorities organize a way to send them back to their countries of origin.

Those that refused to return home were later sent to a remote camp near Panama 's border with Colombia .

Panamanian authorities deny accusations about camp conditions, but blocked journalists from accessing camp.

International aid organizations said they would organize travel to a third country for people who didn’t want to return home.

“None of them wants to stay in Panama . They want to go to the U.S. ,” said Panama ’s deputy foreign minister.
