Representing approximately 2,000 hospitality employees, UNITE HERE Local 11 demands guarantees that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will not be involved in the eight World Cup matches scheduled at the stadium. Workers express concerns that an ICE presence would create a climate of fear for both themselves and fans. Isaac Martinez, a stadium cook, stated that ICE should have no role in the games. The union is ready to strike if an agreement isn't reached. Concerns also surround FIFA's accreditation process, which requires employees to submit personal data. Protesters, supported by Tom Steyer, a California gubernatorial candidate, are urging FIFA not to share worker information with ICE. Steyer questioned ICE's relevance to the World Cup, highlighting the agency's potential threat to California workers. The mandate of ICE is border control.
