make their way through/ let them through/let them by

Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con la opción de David de make/push their way through para el primer contexto. Sin embargo, para el segundo contexto de "la gente le abre camino", yo diría the people let them through o the people let them by or let them get by /let them get through
