What it does

The Safe Passage to the World Cup Act would prohibit the use of federal funds by the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice to conduct civil immigration enforcement activities on public transit or at public transit hubs in metropolitan areas hosting 2026 FIFA World Cup matches or Fan Festivals, from June 11 to July 19, 2026. The restriction applies unless exigent circumstances exist, such as imminent risk of death or violence, threats to national security, hot pursuit of a dangerous individual, or imminent destruction of evidence. The bill aims to ensure safe and unimpeded access to public transportation for attendees during the tournament.
