Bill overview
This bill, the Safe Passage to the World Cup Act, prohibits the use of federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice to conduct civil immigration enforcement activities on public transit or at public transit hubs during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Specifically, this restriction will apply from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, in metropolitan statistical areas hosting World Cup matches or Fan Festivals. The bill defines ‘exigent circumstances’ as situations involving imminent threats to life, national security, or public safety, allowing for limited enforcement actions under those specific conditions. It aims to ensure that fans and visitors can travel freely during the tournament without fear of immigration enforcement.
