Delacroix tracked the deportees’ journey from detention to remote camps, while Janetsky confirmed their release through legal sources. Solís and Terán rushed to document their arrival in Panama City.
The team’s nuanced reporting, striking portrait series, and digital-first storytelling humanized the migrants at a time of heightened global debate over deportations. Their work drew international attention and put pressure on Panama’s government ahead of a key human rights ruling.
