The Task Force on Enhancing Security for Special Events in the United States was established in May 2025 to maintain oversight of security preparations for a slate of large-scale international events hosted by the United States, including the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the FIFA World Cup in 2026, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, the 2025 Ryder Cup, and the United States’ 250th anniversary in 2026. 

With jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Transportation Security Agency (TSA), this Committee on Homeland Security task force will visit select event sites in advance, hold hearings, host roundtables, ensure the success of President Trump’s FIFA task force, and release a final report on their findings as part of the Committee’s oversight of National Special Security Events (NSSEs) and major Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) events.
