Would FIFA relocate World Cup matches after Trump threatens to pull them from Boston?

Would FIFA relocate World Cup matches after Trump threatens to pull them from Boston?

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to relocate World Cup matches set to be played next year in suburban Boston, after suggesting that parts of the city had been “taken over” by unrest.Foxborough, Massachusetts, home to the NFL’s New England Patriots and about 30 miles from Boston, is set to stage matches as the U.S. cohosts the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada. Trump was asked about Boston’s mayor, Michelle Wu, a Democrat whom he called “intelligent” but “radical left.”“We could take them away,” Trump said of the World Cup games. “I love the people of Boston and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not good.”He suggested “they’re taking over parts of Boston” without offering details, but added “we could get them back in about two seconds.”The Trump administration has already deployed National Guard troops to Washington and Memphis, and efforts to do so in Chicago and Portland, Oregon, have sparked legal fights.Wu’s office did not react directly to Trump’s threat, issuing a statement that read, “Boston is honored and excited to host World Cup matches, and we look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.”Trump’s comments came during his meeting with Argentina President Javier Milei and it wasn’t immediately clear what he was referring to by parts of Boston having been seized. Earlier this month, however, there were multiple arrests in connection with a pro-Palestinian protest that turned violent on Boston Common. Four police officers were injured.Trump has previously suggested he could declare cities “not safe” for the 104-game soccer tournament and alter a detailed hosting plan that FIFA confirmed in 2022. It includes games at NFL stadiums near New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.World Cup host sites aren’t up to Trump. The 11 U.S. cities — plus three in Mexico and two in Canada — are contracted with FIFA, which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff.“It’s FIFA’s tournament, FIFA’s jurisdiction, FIFA makes those decisions,” the soccer body’s vice president Victor Montagliani said earlier this month at a sports business conference in London.Trump nonetheless said, “If somebody is doing a bad job, and if I feel there’s unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni – the head of FIFA who’s phenomenal — and I would say, ‘Let’s move into another location’ and they would do that.”The president meant FIFA head Gianni Infantino, a close ally. Trump said Infantino “wouldn’t love to do it, but he’d do it very easily.”Associated Press writer Michael Casey in Boston contributed to this report.

The aunt, Jackelyn Garcia, has been charged with cruelty to persons as well as additional charges.Bond for Karla Garcia and her boyfriend, Jonatan Nanita, was set at $5 million and bond for Jackelyn Garcia was set at $1 million.Nanita is also being charged with tampering with evidence, according to police.Jonatan Nanita (left), Karla Garcia (middle) and Jackelyn Garcia (right).Family member identified the little girl as Jacqueline Torres and said they called her “Mimi.”Police called this one of the worst cases that they have seen. “This is a heartbreaking and deeply disturbing case. Our detectives, along with our local and state partners, have worked tirelessly to uncover the truth and to bring justice for Jacqueline. No child should ever have to endure such suffering,” New Britain Police Chief Matt Marino and Farmington Police Chief Paul Melanson said in a statement.Officers found Torres’ remains when they responded to the area of 80 Clark St. in New Britain on Wednesday afternoon to investigate a report of suspicious behavior and they discovered a large container in the backyard along the fence line.

The last known schooling Jacqueline Torres had was homeschooling, New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart said.There is no apparent connection to the home where the little girl’s body was found.Stewart said the house has been vacant for more than two years.The cause of the child’s death is pending further studies, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.DCF InvolvementThe Department of Children and Families (DCF) said they have started a thorough review of their history with the family.Officials said the review will look into their knowledge about the family, supports provided, casework decisions, adherence to policy and communication and collaboration with other system and community partners.“Our hearts remain with all those impacted by Jacqueline’s tragic and shocking death. The Department is invested in being as transparent as possible about the family’s prior DCF involvement without interfering with the active and evolving criminal investigation,” DCF said in a statement on Monday.DCF officials said Jacqueline’s siblings and safe and have been placed together in state custody.New BritainOct 10Girl's remains found in container outside abandoned Connecticut property: policeNew BritainOct 8Human remains found in container outside abandoned property in Connecticut: policeThe warrants are sealed and officials are asking anyone who has information to contact police.This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.

Both of them were on the plane.A woman who was driving a car that was struck by part of the plane was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford with non-life-threatening injuries.Federal Aviation Administration officials will assume primary responsibility for the crash investigation, state police said.[See more photos and video from the crash here]State police said the crash involved a fixed-wing airplane and occurred around 8:15 a.m. They said the plane crashed on the median of I-195, resulting in a fire on the ground.Video from the scene showed what looked like the main body of the plane on fire in the median, with another flaming piece of the wreckage on the other side of the road, just off the shoulder.A damaged car was also seen in the video. The DA confirmed the car was impacted by a piece of the plane from the crash.The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that the Socata TBM-700 had departed from new Bedford Regional Airport, about four miles away. The plane is registered under Easton Air LLC in Middletown, Rhode Island.In a Facebook post, New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell extended his condolences to the loved ones of those lost in the “tragic plane crash.” New Bedford Regional Airport officials are prepared to support the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation, Mitchell said.“I am grateful that the crash miraculously did not result in serious injuries to motorists on Interstate 195,” he said.Eric Desouza told WJAR that he was in traffic on I-195 when the plane crash occurred.“We were coming down the highway, and then all of a sudden everybody locked up the brakes,” he said. “And we all kind of zig zagged. Nobody hit each other where I was. Then within five minutes, the police descended on the scene.”“We all just kind of sat there waiting for them to sort this out. Finally, the policeman came over and said there had bene a plane crash... They had to empty all of the cars from westbound and then back all of us — tractor-trailers included — back down the highway and then cross over the median.” “It’s not something you see every day,” Desouza added. “Certainly nobody when they woke up this morning expected to be hit by a plane, as you can see out there, or to be hours late to work for those of us just trying to get to work.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.
