SoFi Stadium workers threaten to strike if ICE isn't banned from World Cup games
Unite Here Local 11 says about 2,000 workers may strike unless ICE agents are kept away from the stadium.
- On Friday, Unite Here Local 11, representing about 2,000 workers, threatened to strike ahead of the World Cup if Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are not kept away from SoFi Stadium.
- Last month, the union filed an unfair labor practice complaint against Legends Hospitality, Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, and FIFA, alleging an unsafe work environment from the potential presence of federal immigration officials at the eight scheduled games.
- Along with more than 100 human rights groups, the union urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request that President Trump implement a moratorium on ICE raids during the 38-day tournament.
- Amnesty International USA issued a travel advisory last week warning visitors of aggressive immigration enforcement, with director Amy Fischer noting there is "a real risk" for travelers due to enforcement tactics.
- Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons stated his agency will have "a key part" in security at tournament venues, yet FIFA and Legends Hospitality have not addressed the union's demands ahead of next month's kickoff.
