Federal agents from ICE may be present at FIFA World Cup matches in the U.S. next month, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They stated that ICE personnel could assist local police and federal agencies to enhance security, similar to their role in events like the Super Bowl. However, ICE officials will not check the immigration status of attendees. The World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19, with the opening match in Mexico City and the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
