An asylum seeker warns other immigrant fans about the risks of attending public World Cup events after he was seized by ICE agents last summer.

Manuel*, a Latin American asylum seeker, was snatched by ICE as he headed to a FIFA match in New Jersey with his sons last summer. He has now been separated from his wife and sons for almost a year. Detained at MetLife stadium in Newark, where the World Cup final will be held in mid-July, his experience illustrates the risk that immigrant fans will take if they watch the matches in public spaces during the tournament.
