On January 2, Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander and permanent secretary in the ministry, Videsh Maharaj, met with the acting Chief Immigration Officer of the Immigration Division, Gewan Haricoo, "to establish the strategic priorities for 2026."

A statement posted on the ministry's Facebook page on January 2, tagging several media houses, said the meeting identified four key pillars for the year.

The first was digitalisation, with the ministry announcing plans for launching an electronic disembarkation card to modernise border entry and reduce waiting times.
