Trump DHS Adviser Says ICE Will Patrol Super Bowl Where Bad Bunny Leads Halftime

The unconfirmed warning refocuses attention on immigration enforcement concerns that shaped the artist’s touring choices.

Overview

  • Corey Lewandowski told The Benny Show that ICE will conduct enforcement at Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8, 2026, where Bad Bunny is slated to perform the Apple Music halftime show.
  • The statement is Lewandowski’s assertion and was not independently confirmed by the NFL, DHS or ICE in the reports citing his remarks.
  • Bad Bunny has been officially announced as the halftime headliner, billed as the first Latino solo performer, with the Super Bowl currently his only planned U.S. date in 2026.
  • The artist previously skipped U.S. mainland tour stops, saying he was concerned ICE could target Latino fans at concerts, a factor he discussed in an i-D interview.
  • The booking drew vocal criticism from conservative figures and a broad defense from fans noting his U.S. citizenship and cultural significance, with production led by Roc Nation in partnership with the NFL and Apple Music.
