Operation in Iwokrama Targets Illegal Entry and Mining

A major joint operation in Guyana’s Iwokrama Protected Reserve nabbed around forty people, mostly Venezuelans, caught illegally entering the country and engaged in illegal mining. Seven admitted to border violations and mining, facing $50K fines and deportation; 33 others pleaded guilty to mining charges, each fined $25K. Separately, Raul James, 37, faces firearm charges with bail denied and remanded to prison—his case continues in September. This crackdown sends a clear message: borders and laws are non-negotiable.
