He said: “We’ll have visitors from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the games. But when the time is up, they’ll have to go home, otherwise they’ll have to talk to Secretary Noem.”

Secretary Neom

As legal residents are being snatched off the street and detentions at points of entry are on the rise, many international tourists seem quite terrified of taking a trip to the U.S. Tourism industry researchers are predicting a nearly 10% drop in international travel to the U.S.

“We definitely are collateral damage and part of the domino effect. We’re just caught in a chain reaction of broader economic and political decisions,” Visit California CEO Caroline Beteta said in April.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, these are Neom’s “successes” in 100 Days.

Below are just some of Secretary Noem’s accomplishments from her 100 Days:

Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, we have the most secure border in American history.

Daily border encounters have plunged 95% since President Trump and Secretary Noem took office.
Migrants are turning BACK before they even reach our border— migration through Panama’s Darien Gap is down 99.99%.
Secretary Noem launched a multimillion-dollar nationwide and international ad campaign, urging illegal aliens to leave the U.S. voluntarily or face deportation with no chance of return and warning criminals to stay out. The data shows the world is hearing our message.
Secretary Noem and Secretary Kennedy have reunited nearly 5,000 unaccompanied children with a safe relative or guardian.
Secretary Noem is finishing the border wall. DHS already has 85 miles of new construction either planned or under construction.
United States (U.S.) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) have seized nearly 232,000 pounds of fentanyl and other illicit drugs—stopping them from ever reaching American communities.

He turned a World Cup welcome into a fear-mongering deportation line.
Zero applause. Zero charisma. Zero clue.

FIFA if you're listening? Thinking Canada and Mexico would volunteer to host more games.

Hilarious. Threatening visitors before they book their tickets! Genius! https://t.co/bpA5UPYuJq

Brilliant to threaten tourists with being arrested by ICE and dumped into a detention center. Very humorous, especially coming from an administration that did exactly that to two German teenagers a couple of weeks ago. https://t.co/M5T9imbIgQ

Foreign tourists would have to be absolute idiots to come here for this. What a disaster. https://t.co/CGAbz4euj0
