Overview

  • Corey Lewandowski said on The Benny Show that ICE agents will be at Super Bowl LX and vowed to find, detain and deport people in the country illegally.
  • ICE and DHS echoed tough rhetoric about there being no safe haven for violent criminal illegal immigrants, but neither the agency nor the NFL has announced operational specifics, and league and artist representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
  • Bad Bunny, a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico, was named the Feb. 8, 2026 halftime headliner at Levi’s Stadium after previously avoiding U.S. tour dates over concerns about potential ICE activity at concerts.
  • Conservative figures, including Lewandowski and Danica Patrick, criticized the NFL’s choice, while fans and commentators noted Puerto Ricans’ U.S. citizenship and pushed back on calls for deportations.
  • Marketing analysts say the booking advances the NFL’s push to engage Hispanic and international audiences, highlighting Bad Bunny’s global reach and the league’s expanding presence in Latin America.
