The beautiful shame
The Trump administration's immigration policies have caused visa chaos for World Cup attendees, including players and fans, from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Despite promises of smooth travel, many have been denied entry or experienced significant delays due to vetting concerns or past convictions. The administration has defended these actions, citing national security concerns and emphasizing that traveling to the US is a privilege, not a right.
- ▪Swiss forward Breel Embolo was denied boarding due to a past conviction and had to apply for an emergency visa.
- ▪The Iranian team moved its training base to Mexico after several players were denied visas by the State Department.
- ▪Iraqi striker Aymen Hussein was detained at Chicago's O'Hare Airport and had his phone searched, while the team's photographer was denied entry into the US.
