Overview

  • ICE told TMZ it will deploy agents to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, citing a focus on violent criminal undocumented individuals.
  • Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski said on The Benny Show that agents would be present and warned undocumented attendees they would be detained and deported.
  • A DHS spokesperson echoed a hardline message, repeating that there is no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens in the United States.
  • Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rico–born U.S. citizen, was named the halftime headliner days earlier after previously avoiding U.S. tour stops over concerns about ICE near concerts.
  • Operational details for any ICE presence at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8, 2026 remain unspecified, prompting public scrutiny of who could be targeted and how enforcement would occur.
