“I’m just glad they’re done.”

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin showed little sympathy for Iran’s World Cup complaints, defending U.S. travel restrictions and celebrating the team’s exit in a press conference Monday.

The restriction measures — from a Tijuana base camp to controlled entry timelines — were part of a broader security strategy developed with FIFA.

During Monday's World Cup security briefing at the government’s Special Event Coordination Center, he told interagency personnel that he was “very happy [Iran is] going back because there wasn’t a single team that we dealt with more than them.”

Mullin denied that Iran’s team had anything to complain about, citing the proximity of its base camp in Tijuana to its first two matches in L.A. and its ability to arrive and train in the U.S. the day before each match. 

He also said Customs and Border Protection officers screened the players before boarding their plane in Tijuana to mitigate their concerns about being harassed while going through U.S. customs.
