Save the World Cup Act
To provide that no Federal funds made available to the Department of Homeland Security or Department of Justice may be used to carry out any civil immigration enforcement activity within one mile of any 2026 Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup match or Fan Festival, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to protect the atmosphere around the 2026 World Cup by restricting certain immigration enforcement activities near the event venues. Specifically, it would prevent federal funds from being used for civil immigration enforcement within one mile of any World Cup match or Fan Festival. This measure is intended to ensure that fans and participants can enjoy the event without undue disruption.
The bill would impact federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, who would be restricted from carrying out enforcement actions near the specified areas during the World Cup. This would likely affect immigration officers and related staff working in those areas during the event.
As of the last update, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet advanced to a vote or further committee actions.
