Summary

**What it does:** This bill would prohibit federal immigration enforcement within one mile of any 2026 FIFA World Cup matches or Fan Festival events. **Who it affects:** - Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies that conduct immigration enforcement - Undocumented immigrants who might attend or be near World Cup events - Soccer fans and visitors to World Cup venues and Fan Festivals **What would change:** Federal agencies like ICE could not use their funding to conduct immigration raids, arrests, or other enforcement activities in the designated areas during the tournament. This would create temporary "enforcement-free zones" around World Cup venues. **Current status:** The bill is currently in congressional committee and has not been voted on or enacted into law. **Note:** The 2026 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with multiple U.S. cities serving as host venues.
