Overview

• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE will be "all over" Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara and vowed to enforce immigration laws at the event.
• Days earlier, DHS adviser Corey Lewandowski told a conservative podcast there would be no "safe haven" at the Super Bowl and threatened apprehension and deportation, without offering operational details.
• White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters there is "no tangible plan" for ICE at the game, while noting the administration would arrest and deport criminal offenders.
• The NFL announced in late September that Bad Bunny will headline the February 8, 2026 halftime show at Levi's Stadium; the Puerto Rico–born U.S. citizen previously skipped mainland U.S. tour dates citing concerns over possible ICE raids targeting fans.
• Neither ICE nor the NFL has released any enforcement plan for the event, which typically involves coordinated security among local, state and federal agencies.
