Protect World Cup Attendees Act
To provide that no Federal funds made available to certain State Homeland Security Grant program recipients may be used to carry out any civil immigration enforcement activity, and for other purposes.
Summary
The Protect World Cup Attendees Act prohibits certain state and local law enforcement agencies that receive federal Homeland Security funds from conducting civil immigration enforcement activities during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for June 11 to July 19, 2026. The bill restricts these agencies from participating in the 287(g) federal-local immigration enforcement partnership program and from carrying out civil immigration enforcement activities during the covered time period. The restrictions do not apply in exigent circumstances, including imminent risks to public safety, national security, death or violence, or destruction of evidence in criminal investigations. The bill applies to agencies receiving specific federal homeland security grant funding under recent federal reconciliation legislation.
