Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has urged U.S. authorities to refrain from immigration enforcement targeting attendees of the Gold Cup soccer match in Los Angeles. Her call comes amidst backlash against recent immigration raids in the city. She discussed the potential risks for Mexican nationals at the event and emphasized that the Mexican consulates are prepared to assist those detained. She dismissed provocative protests while reiterating Mexico's commitment to peace and cooperation with the U.S. regarding security at major sporting events.
"We don't believe that at any soccer match there will be any [immigration] action ... we call for none to be taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the FIFA Club World Cup 25 is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event, including the Super Bowl."
