Qatari outlets' coverage is especially intriguing, as they draw on Qatar's own response to boycott calls ("the US & Europe are racist hypocrites & want to see us fail") & a core marketing narrative of the 2022 Cup: "2022 will be a safe & family friendly tournament."
In 2026, the US is not safe.

![Screenshot of Doha News Instagram post featuring the headline "'I cancelled my World Cup tickets': World Cup 2026 Boycott Calls Surge." in white over an image featuring the gold World Cup trophy with a round "Boycott" stamp on the top next to the Statue of Liberty and an American flag.
The caption reads: "Calls to boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup have intensified following the killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, as well as recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump threatening to "start hitting land" in Mexio to fight drug cartels. The hashtag [crop cuts out following text] #BoycottWorldCup has trended across social media, with thousands of accounts urging international fans to cancel their plans to attend matches in the United States. Many cite safety concerns, political protests, and broader human rights issues linked to the Trump administration's policies.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cd7kzsqed5cucxfgfyqxhqq4/bafkreicarlixzhdwu7r7gsacto7xrcrvlkbum5i75oslb572lykgbyoyuq@jpeg)
![Screenshot of comments section from previous Doha News post, with a commenter noting "@fifa is putting fans travelling from abroad at risk as they could be arreste3d and locked up without a trial or a hearing for months or years. @fifaworldcup in the #US needs to be cancelled, either hold all games in #Mexico or #Canada only, or as an emergency backup choice relocate it to #Qatar. Russia illegally invaded another country and were barred from international sports, #America does the same and no one bats an eyelid, worse they are still hosts to the #FIFA #WorldCup [shrugging emoji]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cd7kzsqed5cucxfgfyqxhqq4/bafkreiam4khxzxx6pomthjdzk3fvjpoowr3yw35imcgl2n2n4tfwmayfxq@jpeg)

That’s easier said than done with the federal supremacy clause.
It also sets up the exact scenario that the Trump administration wants - clashes between state and federal troops. A reason to enact the Insurrection Act.

Because they do what they want. They don't care about laws. The amount of money flowing to this department to create this police state was approved by Republicans in June in that big Ugly bill.

When you get medical care, be sure to say you're a CRIME VICTIM. If you have insurance, they'll go after ICE to pay for your care. You also can get benefits via the Victims of Crime Act ("VOCA").
