Venezuelan migrants in this country are fearful of being deported in light of the tensions that have been escalating between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.

They said they have been able to work in this country and provide for their families both here and in their motherland, and they see no future in returning to Venezuela with Pre­sident Nicolas Maduro at the helm.

Several concerned Venezuelan migrants have contacted Angie Ramnarine, head of the La Romaine Migrants Support (LARMS) group, following escalations and also following a memo that was issued on Monday from Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander.
