The Safe Passage to the World Cup Act would restrict federal immigration enforcement activities in cities hosting 2026 FIFA World Cup matches and fan festivals. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice would be prohibited from using federal funds to conduct civil immigration enforcement on public transportation and at transit hubs from June 11 through July 19, 2026, in these host cities. The ban would not apply in emergencies involving threats to life, national security, active criminal pursuits, or destruction of evidence. The bill aims to allow international visitors and the general public to use transit systems without encountering immigration checkpoints during the World Cup tournament period. No specific appropriations are mentioned in the legislation.
