ICE and border agents to provide security at Club World Cup

Published



Federal immigration authorities will be on site at the FIFA Club World Cup in Miami starting this Saturday, but have maintained that they will be providing extra security for the event and not to arrest illegal immigrants.

Federal police from the Department of Homeland Security agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will be at the soccer match to act as security back-up to local and state police as the Federation Internationale de Football Association’s tournament gets underway this weekend through July 13.
