The Trump administration has decided that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will not be deployed inside or around stadiums during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico this summer. The decision follows months of controversy after acting ICE director Todd Lyons had described the agency as playing a "key part" in World Cup security, prompting concerns from members of Congress and labour unions about potential immigration raids near match venues and fan zones. According to Rodney Barreto, co-chair of the Miami host committee, guarantees have been secured through US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that ICE will not be present at stadiums during matches, with the federal government instead focusing on helping process travel documents for visiting fans.
