Panama officials are denying that they dropped off more than 70 Cuban migrants to the border with Costa Rica.

The Costa Rican government gave a thumbs up to the U.S. decision to repeal the 'Wet foot, dry foot' policy for Cuban migrants.

President Luís Guillermo Solís spoke at length with The Tico Times about immigration issues affecting the region, including Donald Trump's plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Panama reached a deal to transfer nearly 4,000 U.S.-bound Cubans stranded on its territory to Mexico and announced Monday that the country would close its southern border with Colombia to Cubans without visas.

President Luis Guillermo Solís, migration and security officials met at Casa Presidencial Wednesday for an emergency meeting following the border protest involving Cuban migrants.

Costa Rica vehemently denied rumors in Cuban migrant camps that the government was involved in a price-fixing scheme to increase the price of the tickets.

The bottleneck out of Costa Rica is stretching the patience of Cuban migrants and the Costa Rican government's pocketbook. But some still won't risk it.

The next plane will leave on Feb. 4 but Cuban migrants could be waiting in shelters for several more months.

The first trickle of a group of thousands of Cubans trying to reach the United States crossed the Mexican border into Texas Friday, ending a dangerous, months-long odyssey through the Americas.

“This is a success for the country,” President Luis Guillermo Solís told reporters. "It demonstrated the generosity of our people."
