There are three messages that the US is sent to the world before the 2026 World Cup, and you should take two of them seriously. The first comes from President Donald Trump who – Note At a recent press conference, which launched the 2026 FIFA World Cup, “we can’t expect football fans from around the world.” These are the words that the carnival Barker, whose ego gets the push every time he thinks about Hitler’s impression in 1936-Olympics at the most popular sports event in the world. This you don’t have to perceive seriously.
The second message is from the fact that at the same press conference. The vice -president tried a joke, probably held a workshop with the man he follows the X, who has a Youtube show. He – Note“I know that we will have visitors, probably from close to 100 countries. We want them to come. We want them to mark. We want them to see the game. But when the time is coming. They will have to go home. Nothing like this is a bothered threat in order for people to be sent to an offshore torture camp/US Labor camp in Salvador to gain tourist profits.
But don’t be mistaken, Vnes is serious; Just as seriously as the bare ambitions steming from this barely shaved chipmunk. Expect that preparation for the World Cup will be accompanied by raids of non -friendly communities, immigrants and otherwise. Given that normal to see the state out of tire In any case, in the cities of the world before the World Cup, you can only tremble or sift when thinking about what will happen. Trump is likely to use the cup to develop repressions – especially in Los -Angeles, with high population of unregistered immigrants and his democratic mayor Karen Bass – which looks more like the World Cup in 1978 in Argentina than relatively convenient in South Africa in 2010.
This leads us to the last point: stay away, the world. This is not a safe place for anyone without a passport, and even these days, even the passport is not guaranteed. US citizens, including indigenous Americans, are scoring to the ice. President Navajo Buu sort Many Navajo citizens are experiencing “negative and sometimes injured meetings” with ice.
If the repression is organized by ice and the US Customs and the border patrol is dangerous for the first nations of this country, then you can argue that it is dangerous for visitors from around the world. Ask the teenage tourists in Germany who report After planting in Hawaii, searching and planting. Ask the Canadian entrepreneur who spent two weeks in the Otay Mesa detention center, the experience she described As “abducted, thrown into some sick psychological experiment, designed to deprive us of every ounce of strength and dignity.” Ask the owner of the green card and the legal permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil. Ask the owner for a student visa, now blessed for free Rümeysa öztürk.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is dangerous for teams, their families and their supporters. And the word came out. New group –Boycott US 2026– Requires to demand that “games planned in the US must be transferred or boycotted.” The organization is concerned that international visitors may be in danger and that the Trump administration can use a football tournament as alibi to intensify the deportation machine.
There are many countries removed Warning about travel against the US, including Canada, France, Ireland, Germany, Portugal and Finland. They are in the growth of the number of people who see that Vnes jokes are a serious matter.
Haens once state It’s jokes with your “chlops” is “the essence of courage”. (There goes Vens lie again – this time about having friends.) What is more important, members of Trump administration – from Vens to Robert F. Kennedy -Younger. by Trump– They used what they call jokes to make political space for lecherous social policy. When critics are repelled back, Riposte Standard-Eissue is to tell those who are thoughtless humanists will not be so outstanding. But Trump and his ILC use rough humor to normalize xenophobia, racism, sexism and transfobia. And as soon as people are considered inappropriate basic human dignity – in the endthe poison in the blood” – then arrests, camps, prisons and death of the proper process come. This is all one agenda, and everything is on this agenda.
Vens got a lot of attention for his “joke” on the press, but Trump also allowed one to fly. If the president was asked Whether there will be people who participated in the “Pro-Palestinian protests around the world” feel safe to travel to the US to enjoy the World Cup, he replied“I think people are allowed to protest. You have to do it intelligently. Not necessarily friendly but reasonable. Otherwise the PEM will come for you and you will have a big problem.” This is the third message.
“PEM” is the US Prosecutor General Bondi, who recently in a number yukkke it it About sending drug dealers to a restored prison Alcratras. Bondi is also just signed As a gift to Trump, which receives the “new Air Force” plane, brazen corruption by the regime on a historical break. For those of us who remember scandals, such as donors spending the night in the bedroom Lincoln, strangely how any moral standards now look intricate.
More about the sport policy:
We can’t expect FIFA to resist Trump. The governing body in the world on football Claims to care About human rights. But of course, sitting the elbow to the Elba with Trump under the Press conference, the FIFA President Gianni Infantina somehow did not cause problems about that Mega-Draw Cechot In the salvador. Instead – interrupted it To insist the US to be on the list first as a leading event, ahead of Canada and Mexico. Infantine even moved to Miami-in 70 miles on the road from Mar-a-lago-where FIFA justify Legated $ 5,000 per month for a daughter for a private school. He was a special guest in Trump’s inauguration Earlier this year when he pulled the phone when the president took the oath presumably he could Post in InstagramWhere he is regularly against fierce competition to become the greatest Trump’s Sicafant.
The 2026 World Cup begins only in 13 months (June 11, 2026). And yet, According to the US State Department Waiting time is 18 months visa from Colombia, 12 months for Nigeria, 11 months for Ecuador and five months for Algeria (this is for general visas not related to the World Cup). Adam Kraftan report in Sports State Department representatives express concern that the ill -advised dismantling of the Dogeg Federal Government may well worsen the expectation, as well as the level of adoption of the World Cup tourists that need a visa.
People need to start pulling their visa applications (even application now goes with intimidation “Increased check”) and not come to the US for the World Cup. You enter the airspace, where thanks to the state cuts, the aircraft can no longer safely take off and land. After the plane you will enter the airport that can become your prison. Once you have come across, you leave-papers in the paper-in-the-Gulag. Please, for yourself, for your families, stay away from the US. As for players, do not bring your families in the US. Do not threaten the people you love. It may be difficult to imagine a boycott of the American part of the World Cup. But if you have to see the tournament personally, the wonderful places of the World Cup in Mexico and Canada give an alternative to those who do not find concentration camps “Funny”.
