UN wants 'massive re-think' of US immigration enforcement around World Cup

U.N. rights chief Volker Türk urged the United States to reconsider its immigration practices for the football World Cup after fans, a top referee, and team officials were barred from the tournament.

"I really hope that there's a massive re-think of how immigration enforcement is impacting human rights and human dignity, and that, especially for the World Cup, there is a re-think of the policies that we have unfortunately seen prevailing, especially in the U.S.," he told reporters.
