As the eyes of the world remain fixed on the final stages of the #WorldCup, mass detentions and deportations still threaten local communities across the US. While the final match will be held in the Met Life Stadium in New Jersey next weekend, football communities like ROCC NYC Immigrant Futbol Program in Brooklyn are localizing their events and taking extra precautions to keep their community members safe from #ICE. Attacks on our rights and freedoms turn what should be a festival of joy into a festival of fear. We've all seen how the World Cup brings people together like no other event. That is what football is. That is what humanity can be, and humanity must win.
