Safe Passage to the World Cup Act

This legislation, titled the "Safe Passage to the World Cup Act," restricts the use of federal funds by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice for civil immigration enforcement activities. Specifically, it prohibits such enforcement on public transit or at public transit hubs within metropolitan statistical areas hosting a 2026 FIFA World Cup match or Fan Festival. The prohibition is temporary, effective from June 11, 2026, through July 19, 2026, coinciding with the World Cup event. However, this restriction does not apply under exigent circumstances , which include situations involving an imminent risk of death, violence, or physical harm to a person, threats to national security, immediate arrest or hot pursuit of dangerous individuals, or the imminent risk of evidence destruction in a criminal case.
