Defence Minister Wayne Sturge has confirmed there was an operation in progress to determine whether Venezuelan migrants in TT were here legally. He declined to give any details about this operation.

Sturge was asked to confirm reports of police stopping people who looked like Venezuelans and taking them to the police station if they could not produce their documents.

In a WhatsApp reply, Sturge said, "I am aware, I will address this question raised by you at the appropriate time."
