Migrants' Trek To US Through Panama Jungle 'Won't Stop', Says UN Official

 

Migration to the United States through the Darien Gap, the hazardous jungle area separating Central and South America, "won't stop" according to Giuseppe Loprete, the UN official in charge of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) mission in Panama. More migrants have crossed the Darien Gap so far this year than in the entirety of 2022.

New York’s Attorney General Breaks With Gov. Hochul Over Migrant Crisis

 

Letitia James, the state attorney general, has declined to represent Gov. Kathy Hochul in a court proceeding over how to care for thousands of asylum seekers.

 

State officials notified a judge of the swap in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, writing in a public filing that a private law firm, Selendy Gay Elsberg, would be taking over the case from Letitia James, the attorney general.

 

While Ms. James did not immediately comment on the switch, a person familiar with her thinking who was not authorized to discuss it publicly said the attorney general, who is to Ms Hochul’s political left, was motivated by fundamental policy disagreements with the governor on the migrant issue.

 

The decision to withdraw amounted to a remarkable break between two of the state’s most powerful Democrats. Though their politics do not always align, the attorney general traditionally acts as the governor’s lawyer in court. Only rarely have elected officials in that position turned down the duty.

Italy investigates migrant boat disaster, with 41 feared dead. Four survivors tell a harrowing tale

 

The United Nations and private organizations have expressed alarm over the string of shipwrecks and capsized boats. Pope Francis, who since the start of his papacy has repeatedly denounced the loss of life of migrants at sea, expressed fresh dismay Thursday.

 

“With sorrow I heard about the news of the shipwreck involving migrants in the Mediterranean Sea,” Francis said in a tweet. “Let us not remain indifferent to these tragedies, and let us pray prey for the victims and their families.”
