The agency is offering its personnel to local police departments and federal agencies to provide extra security around the perimeters of games, similar to Homeland Security’s role at the Super Bowl and the Kentucky Derby, the officials said.

So far, it’s unclear whether any departments or agencies are taking ICE up on the offer. But ICE officers and agents providing security won’t be checking spectators or employees for immigration status, the officials said.

“Our agents and officers are going to provide security when asked, but they will not be screening people for immigration status,” one of the officials said, adding that whether the ICE officers wear uniforms would depend on each location.

A spokesperson for DHS said in a statement that the department “will work with our local and federal partners to secure 2026 FIFA World Cup — in line with federal law the U.S. Constitution — as we do with every major sporting event, while showcasing American greatness to the entire world.”

The DHS spokesperson said international visitors legally in the U.S. for the games “have nothing to worry about.”   

“What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S. — full stop,” the spokesperson said. 

Still, visitors coming for games from other countries should work on travel plans and documents ahead of time for smoother travel, the spokesperson said.
