As the FIFA World Cup approaches, officials and community advocates are voicing concerns regarding the presence of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) at match venues across the United States. While officials from Miami have assured that there will be no ICE presence at World Cup games, skepticism remains among immigrant advocates who fear potential immigration raids during the events. The situation is compounded by unions representing stadium workers, in particular at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, which have raised alarms about privacy concerns and the implications of ICE’s involvement in security measures. A coalition, including the AFL-CIO, is urging FIFA to keep ICE out of World Cup host cities to protect the rights and safety of both workers and fans. Amid conflicting reports and assurances, the role of ICE at the upcoming 2026 World Cup continues to be a point of contention, with calls for guarantees that the rights of attendees will not be compromised.
