Republican Senator Proposes Stripping Los Angeles of 2028 Olympics over Anti-ICE RiotsPaul Bois 12 Jun 2025
Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno (OH) has proposed stripping the 2028 Olympics from the city of Los Angeles due to the ongoing anti-ICE riots.
Moreno said that Los Angeles may not even be able to host the FIFA World Cup in 2026 due to the violence and distress throughout the city.
“Won’t we be better off as a nation, just to make an acknowledgement of that and move it to someplace that actually will have law and order, that will have the proper amount of protections for American citizens and the tens of millions of visitors that are going to come to both of those events?'” Moreno said during a Senate hearing.
LA2028 CEO Reynold H. Hoover disagreed, saying that only the best of America will be showcased for the 2028 Olympic Games.
Oklahoma Senator James Lankford (R) noted that President Trump had pushed for the Olympics to be held in the United States, adding that the country would commit to hosting the event.
“We’re going to continue to welcome the world to the United States,’ Lankford said Tuesday. “We want to make this the most secure, and demonstrate the freedom that happens here in the United States, and literally invite the world to come enjoy that freedom with us.”
