World Cup 2026: US gives no assurances immigration agents won’t raid stadiums

The White House task force for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has not guaranteed that non-US citizens will be safe from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids at stadiums. Andrew Giuliani, leading the task force, stated that the Trump administration would not rule out any action that could make American citizens safer. This position follows a significant increase in deportations and self-deportations under the Trump administration, creating widespread fear among non-citizens. A previous ICE arrest at a FIFA event in New Jersey was cited, though Giuliani attributed it to the illegal use of a drone near the stadium.
