Rights groups have urged fans, players, journalists, and other visitors to this summer's World Cup to "exercise caution" if travelling to the United States.
More than 120 organisations have collectively issued a 'travel advisory' driven by what they say is "the Trump administration's violent and abusive immigration crackdown".
"The Trump administration's rising authoritarianism and increasing violence pose serious risks to all," the message states.
It adds minority groups in particular are "vulnerable to serious harm", and is critical of Gianni Infantino, president of football's world governing body Fifa, for his close ties to US President Donald Trump.
The coalition, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union, has called on Fifa to put pressure on US authorities "to respect the fundamental human rights of every person visiting and attending the games".
US officials have not yet commented on the groups' travel advisory, but Fifa says it is "committed to respecting all internationally recognised human rights and shall strive to promote the protection of these rights".
The US Travel Association, a non-profit organisation that represents and advocates for all components of the travel industry, said the message to discourage fans from travelling is "sabotage" rather than an attempt to protect visitors.
"There are legitimate ways to challenge policies you oppose and harming the livelihoods of American workers and businesses by frightening away visitors isn't one of them," said Geoff Freeman, president and CEO of the US Travel Association.
"We'll keep doing it differently: making the honest case, staying in the room, and fighting for an America that's open, competitive, and worth the trip."
Fifa said it has a "commitment to human rights across all key activities and actors connected to the tournament", citing several documents and advisory groups it has set up to address human rights issues.
