Preparations for the upcoming Club World Cup have been thrown into disarray amid Donald Trump's latest crackdown on anti-immigration in the US.

The tournament is set to begin on Saturday evening and will see some of the world's best football teams battle it out to claim the lucrative £100million prize pot on offer.

However, just days before the competition starts, fears over fan safety have spiked amid police raids on undocumented immigrants and the resulting protests across the country.

The ICE raids have sparked protests that brought Los Angeles to its knees - as the mayor opted to introduce a lockdown - after Trump ordered 700 Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops to be sent to the area on Monday.
