flag Toronto bans ICE presence during 2026 World Cup to ensure safety and inclusivity.

flag Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has introduced a motion to bar U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the city during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, citing concerns that ICE’s presence could create fear, undermine public safety, and deter international visitors. flag The "No ICE in Toronto" initiative, supported by city councilor Paul Ainslie, urges federal and provincial leaders to reject any deployment and calls for city staff to avoid cooperation with ICE. flag The motion follows recent controversial actions by ICE in the U.S., including a deadly raid in Minnesota, and reflects broader concerns about the impact of U.S. immigration enforcement on global perceptions and inclusivity during major international events. flag Toronto will host six World Cup matches, part of the first tri-national tournament in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, with the city aiming to ensure a safe, welcoming environment for fans and residents alike.
