DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

Not next year. It starts tomorrow (Saturday), with the first game at the stadium mentioned in this post. Although next year will also be interesting, since it's supposed to be shared between the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

I hope hardly anyone or no one comes because how are the organizers looking at what has been happening and saying "This is fine"? They shouldn't even have it here if there is even a hint that people could disappear. But you know money I guess....

Exactly why I refused a trip to a conference in Las Vegas. Not worth the risk. That a nd I absolutely refuse to support anything US until the get rid of the orange madman and his fascist crew.

They should not come here for the World Cup. I guarantee they're going to arrest someone... basically, anyone to meet their quota. They need to move it somewhere else. Who knows if they won't be deported somewhere else, even trying to leave the country. STAY HOME.

There is legit no way to safely have the World Cup here now. It's only a year away, so I'm not sure how FIFA could pivot, but I'd suggest offering it up to England and Germany. They both have a ton of existing stadiums that are specifically built for the sport and will much better hosts.

You mean passport for our closest neighbors? Other countries don’t need to warn their citizens to come here, DJT & his MAGettes have that all covered. World sport organizations should just cancel the US til 2029 if ever.

Not that there's any guarantee they'll take into account or even check documents before sending people whose looks they don't like to end their days in a torture camp in El Salvador

If Canada made it to the World Cup knockout rounds and someone offered me free flight, tickets, hotel, and complimentary bar service all around, I wouldn't come. And I just paid to go to two meaningless friendlies in Toronto.

If people weren't already planning on boycotting the World Cup, maybe this will convince them... Imagine if nobody from outside the US dared turn up, and we had empty stadiums for the first time, broadcast around the world, all because of the fascist regime over there right now...

Who would come here for The World Cup and risk getting kidnapped and trafficked? I don’t even know how we still have so many Hispanic baseball players here, how long until one of them disappears for good?

How will they identify non-U.S. Citizens? I'm guessing that, as a white foreigner, I wouldn't be asked to prove my legal status. Not that I'll be visiting that country for a long time.

I know. I'm concerned about what it will be like when there's millions descending all at once. They won't prioritise white people then.

My advice would be not to come to the FIFA, because they are likely to find themselves under attack from trump's criminal goons anyway. Don't trust anything trump says...we in the united States have learned that though lots of experience.

They do have a problem with instability though. They want dictatorships that can hold an affable face and do as they're told. The US government is both outwardly hostile and immune to bullying.

But I assume I should be carrying my passport right? Although they’ll deem it “fake” so prob should have a lawyer on call. Although they’ll take my phone so just have one file a preemptive habius petition…

Right! If you are a citizen, you absolutely need papers to prove it if you don’t fit their profile of what qualifies you as a citizen! Maybe us white folks should start using accents to keep them busy?

If the FIFA Club World Cup is screwed up, FIFA will quickly talk about moving the World Cup next year. FIFA doesn't want to given the $$$. But they'll do the threat to get Trump & Miller to agree to back off for the month of the WC. There will be too much pressure from the countries qualifying.

As I recall, FIFA's 4 year funding cycle is funky. I think by now, they may have already made all the money for this one World Cup. Mainly selling rights. Now they are spending. The main issue is reputation, so they can sell 2030 and 3034.

2/x I also was clear - FIFA will negotiate to get Trump & Miller to call off their dogs during the WC period next year. As we've seen with the tarrifs, & many other things, Trump backs down when pushed and at risk. FIFA can only negotiate from a position of strength. Which they are good at.

A lot of the 2030 have been sold. FIFA tends to bundle Cups & rights. In terms of ongoing global revenue, the US is a minority of money for FIFA. The vast majority of their revenue comes elsewhere. Ignoring the concerns of 47 other countries for their citizens isn't something they will do.

I'd say your opinion of Gianni INFANTino and his yes men is slightly misguided. He's geared this whole tournament around Trump and managed to engineer the next World Cup so only Saudi could have it. That man brings shame to all of the bald world.

I have a very low opinion of Gianni & FIFA. I have a higher opinion of the 47 other qualifying countries, who will have paid FIFA the majority of the TV rights & will buy a massive amount of the tickets for the games, to lean on Trump & Miller for a moratorium to protect their traveling citizens.

As much as it would hurt California I absolutely think the Olympics should be moved or at the very least heavily boycotted. I know FIFA is corrupt so hopefully international visitors boycott that too. The US doesn’t deserve any of their money and the orange turd certainly doesn’t deserve hosting
