Caption: LA Sheriff Says No ICE Immigration Enforcement Planned at World Cup Matches. LA Sheriff Says No ICE Immigration Enforcement Planned at World Cup Matches. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna says federal officials have assured local authorities that civil immigration enforcement operations will not take place at FIFA World Cup matches or related events in the city. Speaking at a security briefing, Luna said Homeland Security confirmed that federal agents will be present to help protect venues, but not to carry out immigration raids. He added that any such enforcement could create major problems during the tournament. Officials also announced heightened security for Iran’s matches in Los Angeles due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the region’s large Iranian-American population. Authorities are preparing for possible demonstrations and increased crowd activity around stadiums and fan zones. Meanwhile, law enforcement warned of strict restrictions on drone use, saying unauthorized drones could be intercepted and removed. With matches running from mid-June through July, prosecutors say an unusually large security presence will be deployed across the region to keep the event safe.
