MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican national soccer team will change hotels in Los Angeles ahead of their Gold Cup match on Saturday because of safety concerns amid the protests against immigration raids in the city, a team spokesman said Tuesday.

Alfredo Linares and Raegan Kline closed their business to move to Mexico, but it was worth it to avoid getting separated if Linares was deported.

Concacaf said on Wednesday it was in "close and ongoing communication" with local officials as protests in Los Angeles continue ahead of the Gold Cup's opening match at SoFi Stadium.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum encourage violent protests in Los Angeles. Sheinbaum called the accusation "absolutely false."

In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum urged U.S. authorities to carry out all immigration procedures with full adherence to due process and human dignity. At the same time, she condemned the use of violence during demonstrations and appealed to Mexican nationals in the U.S. to remain peaceful.
