66 Miles Through the Darién Gap

The Biden administration is expecting an influx of asylum-seekers to arrive at the US-Mexico border next month once Title 42 is lifted. But even before they arrive in Mexico, some migrants must journey through the Darién Gap, a perilous stretch of jungle connecting Central and South America. In today’s episode, we hear from a CNN reporter who made that trek alongside a group of everyday people who were willing to risk treacherous terrain, extortion and violence to get one step closer to America.  Guest: Nick Paton Walsh, CNN Chief International Security Correspondent To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
