Civil rights and immigrant advocacy groups, including the ACLU of Florida, issued a travel alert on February 5 urging international tourists attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Miami to exercise caution due to expanded immigration enforcement. The advisory highlighted risks from Florida's statewide partnerships between local and federal immigration authorities, noting that visitors could face detention during routine activities like traffic stops. Groups cited the case of Carlos Gonzalez Meza, a Mexican tourist with a valid U.S. visa who was detained for 10 days after a traffic stop in Orlando. The coalition emphasized the alert is informational and not a call for boycotts.
