Overview
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told The Benny Show that ICE will be "all over" Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium and called the NFL "so weak" for choosing Bad Bunny.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said there is "no tangible plan" at this time to deploy ICE to the February 8, 2026 game in Santa Clara, California.
- Corey Lewandowski, a DHS adviser, earlier warned on the same podcast that undocumented attendees would be found, detained and deported.
- Bad Bunny, a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico, remains the halftime headliner and has said he avoided mainland U.S. tour stops over concerns that ICE could target concertgoers.
- No operational details of any enforcement presence have been released, as conservative backlash grows and the NFL’s Roc Nation–produced show draws intensified political scrutiny.
