On October 10, 2025, Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament faced chaos during debate on a bill to restore justices of the peace’ authority to issue search warrants, sparking heated exchanges between opposition and government MPs. Opposition MP Kareem Marcelle accused some JPs of approving warrants without essential details, prompting anger from House Leader Barry Padarath, who called for decorum. Speaker Jagdeo Singh intervened multiple times, rebuking disruptive conduct and emphasizing the need for relevance. The bill, aimed at reversing a 2023 restriction, passed 27–12 amid concerns over judicial oversight and potential constitutional risks. Earlier, opposition members walked out over claims of biased parliamentary conduct, accusing the Speaker of favoring government members.
