BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A soccer match between Argentina and Puerto Rico, originally scheduled for next week in Chicago, has been relocated to Florida amid the immigration crackdown in the city, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The friendly match was supposed to be played on Oct. 13 at Soldier Field in Chicago but will now take place at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. An Argentine Football Association executive confirmed the move to the AP, stating it was due to unrest in Chicago, where President Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard to quell protests against the immigration crackdown. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the relocation had not been publicly announced.}
