Amnesty International issues travel advisory for World Cup visitors to the U.S.

Amnesty International and U.S. civil rights groups issued a travel advisory for World Cup visitors, citing rising authoritarianism and violence in the U.S.
The advisory warns of arbitrary entry denial, inhumane detention conditions, and invasive searches of phones and social media.
Tourism officials criticized the advisory as a political tactic that could harm the livelihoods of service industry workers, despite acknowledging concerns about U.S. entry policies.
The World Cup is expected to bring a significant influx of international visitors, but Trump's immigration policies have created uncertainty around travel to the U.S.
