Hu­man rights ac­tivist Sofia Figueroa-Leon is wel­com­ing Gov­ern­ment’s an­nounce­ment that a new mi­grant pol­i­cy will be rolled out. But she in­sists that it needs to be done hu­mane­ly and holis­ti­cal­ly, un­like the ones be­fore.

“One of them told me to­day, ‘Sofia we are the new Jew­ish per­se­cut­ed by the Nazis and it’s all due to the Venezue­lan regime that any­where any Venezue­lan goes, be them hon­est, hard­work­ing they are all thrown in the same bag if there is a bad ap­ple’,” said Figueroa-Leon, as she shared a con­ver­sa­tion she had with a mi­grant yes­ter­day.

Dur­ing the post-Cab­i­net me­dia brief­ing on Thurs­day, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar claimed some Venezue­lans may be in­volved in drug and hu­man traf­fick­ing but have doc­u­men­ta­tion to live and work in T&T.
