Fans Cancel 16,800 FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets and Demand a Boycott of Trump USA
Fans Cancel 16,800 FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets and Demand a Boycott of Trump USA
2026 World Cup ticket cancellations are accelerating as fans worldwide walk away from FIFA 2026 and call for a boycott over safety concerns tied to U.S. immigration enforcement. Reports now show about 16,800 fans have canceled their World Cup tickets worldwide and that number is still climbing fast. This isn’t about bad flights or hotel prices. This is people saying they are walking away from the tournament entirely because they do not feel safe going to the United States given the current climate created by ICE tactics under the Trump administration and aggressive immigration enforcement that many see as a real threat to visitors. It flipped when videos and accounts of serious confrontation with immigration enforcement in the US started spreading online. Fans overseas who once dreamed of waving flags and shouting goals are now publicly canceling their travel plans and pointing at what they call a climate of fear for visitors who might be stopped or targeted by enforcement agents. What started as a few cancellations turned into tens of thousands of fans pulling out and openly calling for a full boycott of the World Cup because they see going to the host country as a personal risk. The boycott energy is not isolated to one region either. Supporters from Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia are blasting their cancellations on social platforms and tagging it under #BoycottWorldCup. They are showing refunds, unused seats, and writing that if the US is unsafe for them to even visit then they are not stepping foot inside. For many this feels bigger than soccer. It feels like a global protest against a political environment that they believe stands in direct conflict with the spirit of unity the World Cup claims to represent. FIFA has been pushed into emergency talks behind the scenes because of this fallout and the sudden wave of cancellations. People who once planned trips for months are now telling friends not to come and sharing their refund confirmations instead of their itinerary screenshots. That shift from excitement to fear and protest is happening in real time and it is shaking up how the tournament is being talked about around the world.

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

The tl;dr of this report is not that these administration officials are upset about ICE having murdered Renee Good; it's that even these goons realize Noem's lies about the murder were so poorly crafted that people aren't going to believe all the other lies the administration tells the public.

Maybe now is a good time to remind folks that Elissa Slotkin was one of the 7 Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Kristi Noem.

Once you remember that, the fact that she’s making excuses for ICE and equating them with law enforcement makes a lot more sense.

The way MAGA voters have isolated themselves into a media echo chamber is truly astonishing. I suspect religious childhood indoctrination is a root cause, as it effectively disables natural skepticism at an early age, and prevents development of epistemology.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

The Democratic leadership got to their positions the same exact way the GOP leadership did and they will not be willing to relinquish their very lucrative political careers by making bold statements that represent the bulk of their constituency.

In short they're not just pussies, but rich pussies.

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

A foreign president can be held liable under US law, but an American president cannot. Weird.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

The Trump administration & #ICE are traumatizing & torturing children.

It's our duty to expose this & stop it. So share the stories in this thread far & wide. Talk to your neighbors & call Congress at 202-224-3121. It only takes 2 minutes and they need to know that we object to #ICELawlessness.

"If it wasn’t Shirley’s video, it would have been something else. If it wasn’t MN, it would have been somewhere else. If it wasn’t about daycare fraud, it would have been something else. Everything this administration does is about creating a fig leaf to justify its violent dismantling of democracy"
The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives
Privatization and a lack of oversight creates a vicious cycle.

I think people did not want to believe the obvious truth: that January 6th was an attempted coup that was abetted by the highest levels of the Republican Party.

It would’ve meant arresting, trying, and possibly imprisoning many of America’s most powerful politicians.
I think people weren’t really ready to come to terms with what it meant. A lot of the policy response after (e.g., suggestions to add a domestic terrorism statute) missed the forest for the trees. These weren’t rogue extremists — it was key members of one of two major political parties here.
