Mexico City.- More than 7,000 people who managed to sneak into the Copa America Final venue in Miami could lose their visas and be deported from the United States.
According to official reports, approximately 8,000 people illegally entered the Miami Dolphins Stadium before the start of the match between Argentina and Colombia.
Thanks to biometric cameras installed around the stadium, at least 7,000 of those fans who entered without a ticket were identified, many of them Colombians.
Florida authorities discovered that most of the fans involved did not travel directly from Colombia, but were people with legal residency who live in different regions of the United States and Canada.
Sanctions for identified fans could therefore range from judicial penalties to criminal charges resulting in prison time, visa revocation or loss of residency, which in the most severe cases could result in deportation from the country.
In some cases, if it is proven that the US resident was accompanied by his or her family to the game at the time of the riot, all members could be deported from the United States.
