The U.S. Department of Homeland Security initially refused to allow the Iroquois Nationals Lacross Team to travel to England for the World Lacrosse Championships using their Haudenosaunee passports. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton finally granted the team a "one-time-only waiver" allowing them to make the trip without US passports. However, the United Kindgom refuses to grant them visas to enter the country.
