Venezuelans risk deadly trek through Darién Gap to reach U.S. border
New York Times journalists Julie Turkewitz and Federico Rios spent days with migrants crossing the deadly Darién Gap. "A lot of people... began this trek for two reasons: one is because they believed the United States was going to let them in at the end— which, by default, was the policy up until a few days ago. And second, because of social media," Julie Turkewitz says.
