ATTORNEY GENERAL John Jeremie disclosed yesterday, that the United States government has revoked the visas of certain members of the '1%' in Trinidad and Tobago.

'We all know that our American friends have sophisticated means of intelligence gathering. They appear now to have determined that certain individuals should not, as a result of their activities, be travelling to the United States, and they have taken action to ensure that that does not happen,' he said while piloting a motion in Parliament seeking a three-month extension of the state of emergency (SoE).

Jeremie said the Government was dealing with gangs that were not limited to those identified by numbers such as SIXX, Seven and Eight, nor were they confined to any particular class or geographic location.
