I'm sympathetic towards Nellie's bill, but a far better solution would be to dramatically reduce funding for #ICE & change the rules under which it works, eliminating the brutality, cruelty, murder & racism. This would greatly increase the number of people willing to watch the football world cup. As it is being held in the #USA under the despotic yoke of #Trump & ICE, many of us won't be watching it. It would be like cheering for the Berlin Olympics in 1936. #fifa #uspol https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/mar/19/bill-ban-world-cup-ice-raids-us?CMP=share_btn_url
New bill would bar ICE raids near World Cup matches in US host cities

Nellie Pou’s bill follows refusal of ICE chief Todd Lyons to rule out enforcement near stadiums and fan festivals

And yeah, I began playing #football at age 7 and played it well into my 60s, but a world cup dominated by #Trump is not something I wish to watch. It's simply sad. #FIFA actually gave Trump a #peacePrize. What the hell???
@TreeStarMan FIFA have acquiesced to seventy-five nations on the Orange One's travel 'restrictions'; 20 or so where fans' visa requests won't even be processed. US resident fans risk surveillance, kidnapping, and deportation. Some World Cup.
