• Migrants Fear Raids During Games

A warning from influencer Carlos Eduardo Espina has raised alarm among migrant communities in the U.S., as he pointed to the possibility of ICE operations during the 2025 Gold Cup soccer matches.

The warning comes amid growing tension and fear among undocumented individuals.

In a video titled “Alert Issued Over Possible Raids at Gold Cup Matches”, activist Carlos Eduardo Espina voiced concern over the possibility that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could use the matches as an opportunity to conduct raids.

The tournament is held in various cities across the United States, where thousands of Latino migrants live.

This makes stadiums crowded and potentially vulnerable spaces for such operations.

Warning of Possible Immigration Raids at Gold Cup Matches

Espina, who has become a key voice in the defense of migrant rights, stresses that this concern is not baseless but reflects the real fear many undocumented people live with.

“It’s terrible that someone just wants to watch soccer, enjoy time with their family, and has to worry they might be arrested right there.”

That’s what he says in the 1-minute-and-23-second video, which has been widely shared on social media.

The young activist urges the public to share this information to warn those planning to attend the matches, while assuring that he will continue monitoring the situation and providing updates.

The Context: A Tougher Immigration Policy

Raids in public spaces are nothing new, but the potential use of sporting events like the Gold Cup for this purpose represents a troubling shift.

This comes amid a more restrictive political climate toward migrants in the U.S.

Espina concludes with a message of support to the community:

“I will be reporting anything that comes up. What’s important is that everyone stays alert.”
