Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Lawful permanent residents in World Cup host cities could see a slight reduction in encounters with local agencies conducting immigration enforcement during the tournament period. While green card holders are lawfully present, they can still be caught up in enforcement operations, so reducing those operations provides some peace of mind.
