President Donald Trump's administration issued travel recommendations to Americans visiting Mexico during the 2026 World Cup, but the United States also faces a travel alert from civil rights and immigration organizations.

Last April, more than 120 civil society organizations issued an unusual travel warning for the United States: danger of risks related to human rights during your stay in the country.

Organizations such as Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the tightening of immigration and security policies under President Trump's leadership could directly impact those traveling to the FIFA tournament.

In this regard, Natalia Molano, Spanish spokesperson for the State Department, said that the US will apply its current state and federal laws.

"We would say that they have nothing to worry about if they are following all the laws. So it is a reminder that the United States is a country of laws. We are monitoring all laws, whether local, state, federal, including immigration laws," the official said.

He added that there is an intention to facilitate the stay of people who have the correct visa for their trip.

"If people are entering with the correct visa, for the correct, appropriate purpose. That coincides with their trip, they should not have any mishap, any problem when being within the United States," he assured. “So we're not really worried about that side.”

The alert from civil organizations highlights several potential risks in the US, such as arbitrary denial of entry to the country, immigration detentions, deportations, invasive digital surveillance and restrictions on freedom of expression.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, even recalled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will be operating at the World Cup venues in the United States, where most of the games will be played, that is, 78 of the 104 contests.

What should travelers to the US check?

The State Department official reminded travelers to the United States to check their passport and the type of visa, which is valid.

“It is very important that, obviously, they check their passport, that the visa is valid, that when interacting with officers, law enforcement officials, for example, from the airport, ports of entry, that they be honest, that if they have any questions about the laws, that they ask them, that they follow the laws,” Molano recalled.

He recalled that there are special operations to prevent the use of weapons, in addition to drug trafficking and the purchase of irregular or contraband merchandise.

"We are promoting some information that suddenly, if it is the first time they come to stadiums in the United States, they do not know, for example, that weapons are not allowed. We must see security checks in the stadiums so that no weapons enter, for example," he explained.

He acknowledged that some people may intend to use drones for their digital content, but recalled that such equipment is prohibited in stadiums.

"Drones are not allowed. That is something very particular that law enforcement officials in the United States are monitoring a lot, because they have become a security threat," he warned.

Molano emphasized the warning about drug consumption, an issue that the DEA monitors.

“There is an alert about consumption that is higher than normal, because the DEA is reporting that fentanyl is being mixed a lot in all types of drugs, so that is a safety and health alert for people,” he said.
