Se­nior In­ves­tiga­tive Jour­nal­ist

For the ma­jor­i­ty of the last 503 days, T&T has been in a State of Emer­gency (SoE), with three sep­a­rate SoEs, each with ex­ten­sions, im­ple­ment­ed since De­cem­ber 2024. And while they were called by two op­pos­ing ad­min­is­tra­tions, the rea­sons giv­en by both gov­ern­ments were the same, im­mi­nent and se­ri­ous pub­lic threats posed by gangs.

Talk about im­mi­nent and present gang threats re­turned to Par­lia­ment on Wednes­day when At­tor­ney Gen­er­al John Je­re­mie an­nounced that some par­lia­men­tar­i­ans and Gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials re­ceived ad­di­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty be­cause of a re­cent in­ci­dent in­volv­ing a Bel­mont gang mem­ber.
