HR 7988 United States House · 119th Congress

Safe Passage to the World Cup Act

This bill restricts the use of federal funds for immigration enforcement on public transit and at transit hubs during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It directly affects the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice by prohibiting civil immigration enforcement activities in metropolitan areas hosting World Cup matches or fan festivals from June 11, 2026, through July 19, 2026. The restriction applies except in cases of exigent circumstances, which include imminent threats of death or violence, national security risks, immediate arrest of dangerous individuals, or the need to prevent destruction of evidence. The law defines these exceptions to allow enforcement when there is an immediate risk to public safety or national security.
