Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE agents "will be all over" Super Bowl LX and vowed to "enforce the law," echoing adviser Corey Lewandowski’s earlier warning.
  • The White House press secretary said there is currently "no tangible plan" for ICE to appear at the game, while affirming that immigration laws will be enforced as appropriate.
  • Hosting Saturday Night Live, Bad Bunny delivered a bilingual monologue celebrating Latino contributions and quipped, "If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."
  • The NFL’s late‑September booking makes Bad Bunny the first Latino male to perform solo in the halftime slot, with a primarily Spanish‑language set planned for Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara on Feb. 8, 2026.
  • Public reaction remains polarized, with Danica Patrick criticizing the Spanish‑language set and proposing an alternate show as figures like Julia Piquet and many fans defended the choice as inclusive.
