[quote=Anonymous]Inter Miami is poised to face Al-Ahly Sporting Club from Egypt on Saturday night, and it’s unclear who (if anyone) on behalf of FIFA or Hard Rock Stadium asked for the federal government’s security support. A now-deleted Facebook post by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection account asserted that the agency would be “suited and booted” for the event.
 
The vague language behind the statement is causing confusion on what role CBP and ICE will have at the game.

It’s extremely unusual to have border protection personnel serve as security for a sporting event. In the past, especially in the wake of 9/11 it was common for the Department of Homeland Security to provide logistical support — but there are no recent examples of ICE and CBP being “suited and booted.”

ICE told us they would be there as part of the security team, but they also included a reminder that all non-American citizens need to carry proof of their legal status.
