A World Cup without the world?
The exclusion of Somali referee Omar Artan hardens the contradiction at the heart of the 2026 World Cup: a global tournament increasingly shaped by the politics of exclusion.

"the only justification that makes any sense for turning Artan’s away is a continuation of Donald Trump’s racist and vindictive campaign against the Somali community."

The exclusion of Somali referee Omar Artan hardens the contradiction at the heart of the 2026 World Cup: a global tournament increasingly shaped by the politics of exclusion.

Trump vowed to crack down on fraudsters, but he’s pardoned dozens: Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 allies, donors and others convicted in fraud cases.

Salomon Melgen was an immigrant who came to the United States and wound up committing fraud, ripping off American taxpayers by $42 million. “Melgen devised a scheme to enrich himself by defrauding Medicare to the tune of tens of millions of dollars,” an FBI official said when Melgen was sentenced to 17 years in jail during President Donald Trump’s first term.

Given the high-profile “war on fraud” in government programs that Trump announced Monday, pointing to scams allegedly carried out by Somali and other immigrants, Melgen might have a prominent place in the president’s rogue’s gallery of fraudsters.

But Melgen is actually prominent in another presidential lineup: the gallery of criminals convicted of fraud who have been granted clemency by Trump.
