DON’T LET THE WORLD CUP GET TRUMPED AT THE BORDER

I am writing to express growing concern that your administration’s border enforcement policies may directly UNDERMINE THE SUCCESS of the FIFA 2026 WORLD CUP, which the United States is proudly set to co-host. Recent travel advisories from countries like the UK AND GERMANY warn their citizens about the risk of ARREST, DETENTION, OR DEPORTATION—even when entering the U.S. legally for business, leisure, or international events. Some visitors have reportedly been flagged for TATTOOS or social media posts CRITICAL OF YOUR LEADERSHIP, labeled as security threats without cause. That’s not just overreach—it’s INTERNATIONAL HUMILIATION. The U.S. is expecting MILLIONS OF FANS and participants in 2026. But if visitors fear being PROFILED OR PERSECUTED, they won’t come. And if countries start issuing TRAVEL BANS OR ADVISORIES, we risk turning a once-in-a-generation celebration into a GLOBAL PR DISASTER. This is a chance to show the world AMERICAN LEADERSHIP, HOSPITALITY, AND EXCELLENCE. But those goals are being RED-CARDED BY FEAR-BASED POLICY. I urge you to review these actions and ensure the U.S. remains OPEN, LAWFUL, AND WELCOMING to the global community. Let’s not let politics FOUL OUR GREATEST SPORTING EVENT of your presidency.
