DHS Shutdown Slows World Cup Prep

A Senate hearing revealed that the lack of a consistent budget has hampered the ability of DHS to coordinate with local law enforcement and international partners.

The Trump administration is also facing scrutiny over plans to deploy ICE agents at World Cup venues, a move that critics argue could intimidate international visitors.

With the tournament now less than two months away, the pressure is mounting on Congress to resolve the funding impasse and ensure the safety of millions of fans.

The delay in security protocols could have long-term ramifications for the event's success and the nation's reputation as a host.
