Ministry of Home Affairs Permanent Secretary, Mae Toussaint Jr. Thomas’ cell phone was confiscated by authorities in the US while she was in transit to China.

Stabroek News also reports that “the US visa which Ministry of Home Affairs Permanent Secretary, Mae Toussaint Jr. Thomas used to enter the country on her way to China has been canceled by the authorities there, well-placed sources say.”

“After completing her trip to China, Thomas will be returning to Guyana via the United Kingdom and not the United States. The cancellation of the visa will deepen the dilemma that the government faces as questions will mount as it relates to the confiscation of her cell phone by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers of the Department of Homeland Security.”

The Permanent Secretary was slated to return to Guyana yesterday.
