Miami-Dade County officials and artist Marc Anthony unveiled a countdown clock marking one year until the FIFA Club World Cup. However, this is overshadowed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection's online messaging about enhancing security measures, which has instilled fear among immigrant communities regarding potential immigration enforcement at the event. Despite these anxieties, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz reaffirmed that her office's primary focus is security and not immigration status during the games, aiming to calm tensions surrounding heightened law enforcement presence.
Given the intensity of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants, CBP's participation has caused consternation and fear that the event could be unsafe for immigrants.
We are in charge of security at the stadium for the Club World Cup. While we're working with our state and local partners, that is not our priority that day.
