An Austin FC supporter was ejected from a home match for wearing an "Abolish ICE" shirt, a post in the cluster reports. The removal came days after an ICE agent shot a man in Austin about a couple miles from the stadium, which supporters cited when protesting at the game. Supporters in the South Ward also displayed a banner reading "No human is illegal, abolish ICE." Fan groups say they have attempted dialogue with the club's front office about safety and community concerns but remain unsatisfied. Supporters and allies responded by publicly backing the ejected fan and calling for abolition of ICE and an end to deportations. Some posts framed the club's action as increasing attention to the protest, saying the ban produced wider publicity. The dispute has sharpened tensions between Austin FC ownership and parts of its supporter base ahead of any further talks or actions.
