❝ … if ICE descends on the stadiums where the soccer matches are played, particularly in Los Angeles and D.C.—where the agents are still Trump’s occupying army—the federation’s unions may have to counter with job actions to protect its members, Shuler warns in a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

WASHINGTON—With soccer’s World Cup tournament set to open in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada on June 11, the AFL-CIO is demanding the sport’s ruling federation pressure host cities to keep Donald Trump’s vicious and violent ICE agents out.

DO NOT COME TO USA FOR #FIFA2026.

most of the cities are in fascist #MAGA #Republican states that give free reign to #ICE #blackshirts. doesn't matter if you are orange colored like Trump: your life is in danger.

if you must do #FIFA2026 book tickets for Canada and Mexico, not USA.

this also applies for #2028Olympics. even though they are in Los Angeles, boycott any international event as long as Republicans and this fascist regime are in power.

FIFA Could Make Billions From the World Cup. Host Cities Will Get Little in Return.

A review of the contracts host cities signed with FIFA shows that almost all of the costs for organizing the tournament fall on the cities, whose ability to collect revenue is limited. In Texas, that could leave taxpayers on the hook.
