Trump Travel Ban Sparks World Cup Questions — and Raises More Soccer Issues
Beyond politics and immigration, the Trump administration's contentious 2017 travel ban, which limited admission into the US for nationals of several primarily Muslim nations, had far-reaching effects. International soccer was one unanticipated area of concern, especially in relation to the FIFA World Cup in 2026, which the United States is scheduled to co-host with Canada and Mexico. Concerns about whether players, officials, and spectators from impacted countries would have trouble entering the country were raised by the ban, and they have come up again as the tournament draws near.

Boulder, Colorado Attack 2025
Overview On June 1, 2025, a violent attack took place at the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, targeting a group of demonstrators participating in a peaceful weekly event organized by Run for Their Lives, a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The assailant, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and threw Molotov cocktails at the crowd, injuring 12 people, including a Holocaust survivor. The attack, which authorities have labeled a "targeted act of terrorism" and a federal hate crime, occurred around 1:26 p.m. local time, disrupting a busy Sunday afternoon in the popular pedestrian shopping district near the Boulder County Courthouse. The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating, with Soliman facing multiple state and federal charges, including attempted murder and hate crime violations. The incident has heightened concerns about rising antisemitic violence in the U.S., particularly following a similar attack on Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C., two weeks prior.
