Plans to be­gin mi­grant reg­is­tra­tion at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um have re­port­ed­ly been post­poned, adding to un­cer­tain­ty among mi­grants seek­ing to reg­u­larise their sta­tus un­der the Gov­ern­ment’s ex­pand­ed reg­is­tra­tion frame­work.

Co­or­di­na­tor of the La Ro­maine Mi­grant Sup­port Group, Ang­ie Ram­nar­ine, told Guardian Me­dia she re­ceived a mes­sage ad­vis­ing that the reg­is­tra­tion ex­er­cise has been de­layed. She said the mes­sage stat­ed that reg­is­tra­tion has been post­poned to a date to be de­ter­mined and that fur­ther in­for­ma­tion would be pro­vid­ed when avail­able.

A se­nior po­lice of­fi­cer al­so told Guardian Me­dia there was no of­fi­cial con­fir­ma­tion that reg­is­tra­tion would pro­ceed as pre­vi­ous­ly an­nounced from Mon­day, Jan­u­ary 19 to Fri­day, Feb­ru­ary 6, be­tween 4 pm and 8 pm. A no­tice from the Sports Com­pa­ny of Trinidad and To­ba­go in­di­cat­ed that changes were be­ing made to sta­di­um perime­ter ac­cess hours, but did not con­firm whether reg­is­tra­tion would pro­ceed.
