Overview

  • Bad Bunny was announced as the Super Bowl LX halftime headliner for Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
  • Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski said on The Benny Show that ICE will be at the game and warned agents would apprehend and deport people in the country illegally.
  • ICE confirmed to media it will attend the event, stating there is no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens, though specific enforcement plans were not detailed.
  • The NFL, Apple Music, and representatives for Bad Bunny had not issued substantive public responses to the remarks at the time of reporting.
  • The announcement and Lewandowski’s comments drew racist and xenophobic backlash online as well as pushback from fans noting Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and criticizing calls to target attendees.
