Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has called on U.S. immigration authorities to avoid any enforcement actions targeting fans attending the Gold Cup match in Los Angeles. The request comes as part of a broader effort to foster diplomatic ties and promote sports diplomacy during the event.
The Gold Cup, a major international soccer tournament, brings together teams from across the Americas, creating a platform for cultural exchange and international cooperation. Sheinbaum’s appeal highlights the delicate balance between enforcing immigration policies and maintaining positive diplomatic relations.
This move is seen as a strategic effort to ensure a seamless experience for attendees and to avoid any disruptions that could undermine the event’s success. While the U.S. has maintained its enforcement policies, the message from Mexico aims to navigate the complexities of immigration and diplomacy with care.
