If the Olympic committees (worldwide and in the US) had any integrity they would cancel the 2028 Olympics in LA or move them to another less repressive country. For instance, China is now less repressive than the US and it has Olympic venues left over from the last time.
"Trump announces he will lead White House taskforce for 2028 LA Olympics"

From a Metropolitan Police Officer in Washington DC:
“I can’t say how this will end, but I can say what I will do in the meantime. I won’t be intimidated into silence about the failures and dangers posed to the country by the federal police takeover of the city. I will quit my job before I ever help Trump’s goons kidnap some random person for the crime of not being white enough.”

I’m a DC police officer. Here’s what Trump’s takeover is really about.
The federal occupation is terrorizing citizens, wasting taxpayer dollars, and actively making local law enforcement’s jobs harder.

"For two weeks in August 1936, Adolf Hitler's Nazi dictatorship camouflaged its racist, militaristic character while hosting the Summer Olympics. Softpedaling its antisemitic agenda and plans for territorial expansion, the regime exploited the Games to bedazzle many foreign spectators and journalists with an image of a peaceful, tolerant Germany.
Having rejected a proposed boycott of the 1936 Olympics, the sponsoring athletic and Olympic organizations of the United States and other western democracies missed the opportunity to take a stand that—some observers at the time claimed—might have given Hitler pause and bolstered international resistance to Nazi tyranny.
With the conclusion of the Games, Germany's expansionist policies and the persecution of Jews and other "enemies of the state" accelerated, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust.” - https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-olympics-berlin-1936
