Trinidad PM says mulling 'deadly force' against Venezuelan ships
PORT OF SPAIN: Trinidad and Tobago's prime minister said Thursday she was considering using "deadly force" against any Venezuelan vessel in her country's waters, a day after Venezuela announced the arrest of a Trinidadian "mercenary. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now " "We have to take all threats against any incursion into our territory seriously. I will speak to the Minister of Defence and the Attorney General to seek advice on protections for our Coast Guard to use deadly force on any unidentified vessel entering T&T waters from Venezuela," Kamla Persad-Bissessar told reporters. The leader of the small English-speaking archipelago off the coast of Venezuela also urged migrants from that country to leave. On Wednesday, Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello announced the arrest of a Trinidadian "mercenary," whom he accused of being part of a group of "terrorists" seeking to enter Venezuela. He did not provide further details. That came after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday said the group had entered Venezuela from Trinidad and Tobago with a load of "weapons of war." The Venezuelan government regularly denounces imaginary or real plots. Persad-Bissessar rejected any Trinidadian involvement, decrying Cabello's comments as "threats." At the same time, Persad-Bissessar, who was sworn in as prime minister last month on a promise to prioritize security, stressed the need to address rising crime in Trinidad and Tobago. A total of 623 murders were recorded last year - up from 577 in 2023 - some of them blamed on Latin America-based criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua from Venezuela. "I warned you all before the elections... yet crime involving Venezuelans continues to increase." "I am advising Venezuelan migrants who are here to please begin returning to your country," she said.

Canada's Strong Borders Act to combat organized crime, curb illegal fentanyl; what changes in immigration policy with Bill C-2
The Canadian government introduced Bill C-2 , known as the Strong Borders Act, on June 3, 2025. This legislation will give the government more power to protect Canada's sovereignty, strengthen its border, and reform the asylum system. Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced that the bill seeks to provide law enforcement with additional tools to secure borders, combat transnational organized crime, and address the flow of illegal fentanyl and money laundering activities. Beyond immigration reforms, Bill C-2 aims to strengthen Canada's border security infrastructure. Provisions include amending the Oceans Act to expand the Canadian Coast Guard's services for enhanced sovereignty and maritime domain awareness, particularly in remote Arctic waters.

This expansion would enable the Coast Guard to conduct security patrols and collect, analyze, and share information and intelligence for security purposes. Live Events Key provisions of Bill C-2 The proposed legislation introduces some major changes to asylum eligibility: Time Limit on Asylum Claims : Foreign nationals who entered Canada after June 24, 2020, and file an asylum claim more than one year after their entry would be deemed ineligible for refugee protection. Irregular Border Crossings : Individuals crossing the Canada-U.S. land border outside official ports of entry would no longer benefit from the current 14-day grace period to file asylum claims. Such entries would render claimants automatically ineligible. Additionally, the bill grants the federal cabinet expanded powers to: Refuse specific immigration applications. Suspend or terminate application processing. Cancel or modify immigration documents. Impose new conditions on immigration status or travel permits. The legislation also broadens the authority to share personal information across government departments and increases the power to summon individuals for examination by immigration officials. Political context and reactions The introduction of Bill C-2 comes amid heightened political pressure to address border security and the increasing number of asylum claims in recent years. The government said that the bill is designed to protect the integrity of Canada's immigration system while ensuring public safety. Also Read: Will your mortgage get cheaper?

Human rights advocates argue that limiting claims based on time and entry methods could put genuine asylum seekers at risk. Bill C-2 will proceed through the legislative process, undergoing three readings in both the House of Commons and the Senate , followed by royal assent before becoming law. Given its retroactive provisions, the bill's impact could be immediate upon enactment.
