About this episode
This episode discusses the escalation of protests and security threats related to the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
In this week's update, we examine the sharp escalation of coordinated violent protests outside U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. We also dive into the unprecedented security effort underway for the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening June 12 in the United States, as DHS declares an “extremely high” threat level from active jihadist mass-casualty plotting, sophisticated drone attacks, Iranian proxies, Mexican cartels, and ANTIFA networks intent on exploiting soft targets during the global event.
