US immigration enforcement draws Trump’s ICE renaming push and stricter tourist‑visa rules for 2026 World Cup
President Donald Trump posted a social‑media poll proposing to change the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (NICE), arguing that the new name would “confuse the dishonest media” and give the agency a more “prestigious” image. He claimed the agency is unfairly portrayed by the “media liars” and suggested the public would be “completely confused” by the change.
Separately, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security warned that tourists entering on B‑1 or B‑2 visas for the 2026 World Cup may not perform any paid work, including event‑related services, content creation, promotions, or any activity that generates income. Violations can lead to immediate visa cancellation, removal from the United States, and future entry bans. Immigration lawyer Otávio Haverroth emphasized the heightened enforcement risk during the tournament and advised prospective visitors to secure appropriate work visas before any commercial activity.
