Los Angeles Sheriff Confirms No ICE Enforcement at World Cup Events Amid Security Concerns
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced that federal officials have assured him that civil immigration enforcement will not occur at FIFA World Cup games or events in Los Angeles. This statement comes amid heightened security preparations for the eight matches scheduled to begin on June 12. Sheriff Luna emphasized that while federal agents will be present to ensure the security of venues, they will not engage in civil immigration enforcement. This assurance follows rumors and concerns about potential ICE presence at the games, which had previously sparked demonstrations in Los Angeles. Additionally, there will be increased security measures for Iran's matches due to current geopolitical tensions, with authorities monitoring for potential protests. The district attorney's office has also warned of a zero-tolerance policy for unauthorized drone usage around World Cup venues.
