Amnesty issues travel advisory for 2026 World Cup in U.S.
Amnesty International and allied human-rights groups issued a travel advisory for visitors to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, saying the country has a "deteriorating human rights situation". The advisory targets fans, players, journalists and other visitors and cites specific risks including immigration enforcement, detention and deportation, policing practices, and laws restricting LGBTQ and reproductive rights while saying FIFA, host cities and the US government have not provided concrete guarantees. Amnesty urges travelers to take precautions and calls on organizers and authorities to provide binding protections, a move that could shape attendance decisions, team logistics and international scrutiny of the tournament.
This is quite extraordinary & I'm aware I'm preaching to the converted, so to speak, so probably worth sharing with anyone who might be considering going www.amnestyusa.org/blog/2026-wo...

Antifa, since I was born3Amnesty not sitting on the fence, I see🤨 WARNING: Individuals may encounter or be subjected to the following risks and harms in breach of the United States’ human rights obligations under domestic and international law:
Pablo Allelli3My passport has expired, and my team, Wales, have failed to qualify, but neither of those things will explain why I won't be going to the USA when Trump is in charge. I'd rather not be at risk of being held in a US concentration camp.
Cory Tunts. Shadow Minister for Foreign Political Interference2Don't go to Gilead folks!
Thomas Myerscough2We will see the "roundabout painters" arrested and X will be full of their ilk complaining about it. Whereas us on bluesky are expecting most Engerland fans to be arrested - and it wont be because of us snowflakes
ProudCanadian2Protect yourselves and your loved ones, Never travel the US. Their borders are unsafe, their schools, their cities, their airports are unsafe. There is nothing safe or sane about the US anymore. Like a plague infested country, avoid it!
