There are reports that during the FIFA World Cup, the US administration is preparing to identify illegal immigrants, arrest them and expel them from the country. At the same time, the Iran team has been given strict instructions to leave the country immediately after the match.
New York: Ever since Donald Trump became the US President, a campaign has been going on to expel the immigrants living there illegally from the country. Now news is coming that in this sequence, during the FIFA World Cup starting from June 11, preparations are being made to identify immigrants and arrest and deport them.
Todd Lyons, acting director of America’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has also indicated this. He has said that his agency will play an important role during the tournament. At the same time, when White House World Cup Task Force Director Andrew Giuliani was asked about the raid in the stadium, he said, ‘The President will not back down from any step to keep American citizens safe.’ His statement is giving rise to speculations that the spectators in and around the stadium may be checked during the match and if any illegal immigrant is found, he may be deported from the country.
Play the match and leave immediately: America has strict rules for the Iranian team
On one hand, there are preparations for strictness on immigrants, on the other hand, Iran’s football team is also facing strict rules. Despite tension between the two countries, Iran’s team will come to America to play FIFA World Cup matches. But the team will be allowed to enter America only for the match and they will have to leave the country immediately after the match is over.
Currently, Iran’s team is practicing in Mexico. Iran’s ambassador to Mexico, Abolfazl, told the media, ‘We will go to America in the morning to play the match and as soon as the match is over, we will have to leave America.’ Iran’s team will play its first match against New Zealand on June 15 in California. Earlier, given the tension between the two countries, there was suspense over whether Iranian players would get visas or not. However, now two US officials have confirmed that the team has been granted visas.
