On June 6, 2026, immigrant rights supporters and labor organizations protested outside the FIFA Los Angeles World Cup Host Committee offices. The demonstration took place as a union, representing 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, voted to approve a possible labor stoppage. Their vote authorizes them to halt work at any moment ahead of the U.S. team’s first match.
The union’s demands center around protection from potential immigration enforcement actions during the World Cup. This step underscores significant concerns among workers regarding their vulnerability during such high-profile events.
Although the vote doesn’t mean an immediate walkout, it grants workers the right to stop working if necessary. This union action highlights the importance of addressing immigration-related issues affecting employees, especially as international events like the World Cup draw increased attention and activity.
