Twenty-Seven arrested, 11 of those illegal immigrants at Copa America Final in Miami; Mayor, Public Safety Chief outraged

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressed outrage in a presser alongside Chief Public Safety Officer James Reyes following a security failure that resulted in a stampede of fans flooding the Hard Rock Stadium Sunday night during the Copa America Soccer final between Argentina and Colombia. Twenty-seven people were reportedly arrested, and eleven of them were illegal immigrants.

According to USA Today, a joint statement from Mayor Cava and Chief Reyes read in part, "We are outraged by the unprecedented events at tonight's Copa America finals. The Copa America final is organized by Conmebol and Miami-Dade Police Department provides security support along with other law enforcement agencies. Tonight, MDPD assigned 550 officers to the stadium, including our Priority Response Team."

They added, "In addition, MDPD brought in more personnel from more jurisdictions to support everyone's safety and wellbeing," observing "Let's be clear: This situation should never have taken place and cannot happen again."
