Human Rights Watch urges FIFA to push US for an ICE enforcement truce during the 2026 World Cup
Human Rights Watch released a report calling on FIFA to press the US government for a public guarantee to halt immigration enforcement operations at 2026 World Cup games and venues. The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, featuring 48 teams. ICE has been central to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, which rights groups say has violated due process and free speech rights.
