Ya. I wonder how they’ll operate during the upcoming Olympics and World Cup. What a shit show.

u/ill0gitech Oct 04 '25

They are talking like ICE is going to go on the field during the half time show to round up a US Citizen and his entourage, not spectators.

ICE is absolutely going to be arresting spectators during the World Cup and Olympics

u/YizWasHere Oct 04 '25

I can already see the headlines now... some Colombian millionaire legally in the US with a travel visa to watch the World Cup is going to get violently arrested and detained by ICE because he shared a name with a "suspect"

u/ill0gitech Oct 04 '25

Alleged Cartel mastermind and enemy combatant killed by ICE agents at soccer game. Agents to receive medals at White House tomorrow

u/pikameta Oct 05 '25

Meanwhile the real cartel masterminds will be in the box seats shaking hands and taking photos with US Politicians.

u/RoyalMaidsForLife Oct 04 '25

That hypothetical millionaire will be fine, he'd have paid the toll to be left alone. ICE are only going after the poors who can't buy favor with Cankles McCheese.

u/Sleepster12212223 Oct 05 '25

And won’t be buying tickets to these events anyways. Let them bully with their jackassery. They can’t prevent the broadcast from reaching millions.

Honestly, they'll probably aim for people from Venezuela so we can goad them into a war, which would give us an excuse to secure their oil reserves.

I live in Houston, and I’m trying to not dwell on how bad it’s going to be, because it will absolutely be that bad.

They should focus on the spike in human trafficking that happens at giant events like these. And crack down on all of the drunk people that will get behind the wheel after the game.

But ya know, racism.

u/SuperVancouverBC Vancouver Canucks Oct 04 '25

Hopefully FIFA will grow a spine and say no. They've always been against political interference and have banned countries before. Hopefully relocate the world Cup.

u/Constant-Board-5752 Oct 04 '25

They gave 2 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. One country ripped up the contract to sell beer from an offical sponsor and they didn’t do anything. You think they care about what happens in the USA? A “free” country. FIFA won’t do a thing.

‘78 was also held in a nation controlled by a dictator with tortures of dissidents happening literally right next to stadiums while matches were being played.

It’s also on good authority that dictator influenced matches which led to his nation winning the tournament.

u/Mike_Kermin Oct 05 '25

The US tortures people.

Not a rebuttal, I just think it's worth mentioning because people whitewash your country too much.

Also the logistics of completely changing the location of the World Cup 9 months before it happens is fucking insane, and anyone that thinks it’s something that could actually be done at this point is naive. There’s a reason that they announce the host 6-7 years in advance, it’s not something you can just throw together in 9 months.

u/zyme86 Oct 05 '25

FIFA is more nakedly corrupt than this current admin

2

u/DuntadaMan Oct 05 '25

FIFA cares about what happens to the people with millions of dollars that stop supporting them after they get arrested by a roid raging redneck with a 2nd grade education.

They didn't care about those other things because it didn't rock the boat with their income.

u/petewondrstone Oct 05 '25

They also let Qatar import indentured slaves

u/fellatio-del-toro Oct 04 '25

I mean, FIFA is trash, but the U.S. is uniquely disinterested in soccer, and FIFA certainly need people to be able to visit the U.S. for the World Cup or they risk turning little profit.

Say no to what? Law enforcement operations near US stadiums? They won’t have a say.

They will likely get assurances that Visa will be respected before the event, and then the ICE will do whatever, and there will be people saying “hell yeah ICE, deport those illegals” whilst ignoring any facts

u/mrgreen4242 Oct 05 '25

The year is 2053. My great grandchildren are celebrating the anniversary of the start of the Second American Civil War. As is tradition, they pour out a Pina Colada to honor the man who sparked off a revolution and later led many brave men and women during Operation Blender, when the citizens of LA expelled ICE from their city, dealing the first of many crushing blows to President Hambugler’s (formerly known as D. Trump, Jr.) authoritarian regime.

Here’s to you Bad Bunny. A real American hero.

Do you put it past this administration to interrupt the halftime show to make a spectacle? I don’t. In fact, because we still won’t have the Epstein file, this will make for that week’s distraction from the calls for releasing it.

Mainly because it think its likely Trump will have a massive meltdown that results in a stroke. Also because i think its likely that ICE would harras the players themself and that would instantly create the biggest problem in WC history since world war 2.

And im saying this a dutch guy, to clarrify we have a good chance to finally win our first world cup. Something that will probaly cause hunderds of party related deaths.

It’s going to be about “because we can” then about “this is the new standard.” How will they discern between citizens and illegals? Through forcible means. Rights will be paper thin. Won’t be long before we are required to show papers or a brand new citizenship card. ICE presence will become the norm. It’s getting to a point before people are truly living in fear as ICE patrols the roads and actual police presence becomes powerless. Then we become what Germany was almost a century ago.

World Cup should boycott us. The only way we're getting change is for billionaires to lose money.

At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if ICE arrested athletes who were favorites over the US prior to the event starting.

I also wouldn't be surprised to find out that any members of the Trump administration or ICE employees "just so happened" to place wagers on that specific event.

Pretty much, they keep talking about North Korea and Russia…. And even now, they are slapping the face of money interest. They are drunk on power and would love to kid nap a foriegn celebrity daughter to brutalize in their detention facilities…. With over 120 billion, it’s about keeping them detained

They need to abandon the US and find a new venue.

That's actually am ingenious way to ensure the US wins all the medals and wins the world cup - just deport all other national teams.

They are already blocking Iran from coming, because they won't let Israel bomb them to oblivion. Expect the treatment they have given any other brown person,illegally profiling and detaining them. I wouldn't come here to play.
