Panama says the migrants were deported for evading a migration checkpoint on the popular Darien Gap route.
Panamanian authorities deported a group of migrants to Ecuador on a second flight financed by the United States, as part of an agreement between the US and Panama to discourage irregular crossings and reduce the flow of mostly US-bound migration.
The flight carrying 30 Ecuadoreans departed on Thursday evening en route to the coastal city of Manta, Ecuador.
Panama says the migrants were deported for evading a migration checkpoint on the popular Darien Gap route.
The latest deportation comes days after Panama's President Jose Mulino announced return flights for Indian migrants in September and for Chinese citizens on an unspecified date.
