    Every major international tournament brings in fans from all over. To aid local policing, the host nation invites police from those countries to help. ICE are among the agencies the US has sent, likely due to their experience with travel and customs issues.

    Americans may occasionally see foreign police during the world cup later this year.

      Not sure why you’re downvoted. You’re right, and I remember when Erdoğan came to the states, and there was a large protest and his security detail didn’t really handle it… Hmm well maybe they did handle it in the current American way.
