Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is promising to lead a resistance against federal immigration agents during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Los Angeles is set to host eight World Cup matches, including the US Men’s National Team’s opening match next Friday.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents will be working alongside the FBI and local police to manage crowds and stop crimes such as human trafficking and drug smuggling.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated in a recent video posted to ICE’s official X account that agents will “be out there every day” during the World Cup matches.
