Minorities at World Cup fear threat of ICE and how immigration is enforced

Many individuals are hesitant to attend matches due to concerns about potential arrests and deportations. This anxiety is compounded by aggressive tactics used by ICE, which have created a hostile environment for immigrants in the country.
