White House Adviser Says ICE Will Patrol Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

The on-air vow of immigration enforcement turns a marquee broadcast into a test of how far the administration will take ICE at public events.

Overview

  • Corey Lewandowski said agents will find, detain and deport undocumented people at the Feb. 8, 2026 game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
  • Multiple outlets, citing his remarks and Deadline, report operations would extend throughout the event rather than being confined to the stadium.
  • The adviser denounced the halftime choice as “a shame,” claiming Bad Bunny “seems to hate the United States.”
  • Community advocates warn that visible immigration actions could discourage Latino and immigrant fans from attending or participating.
  • Event organizers at the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation have not issued detailed pushback, while Bad Bunny, a U.S. citizen from Puerto Rico, is slated to be the first solo Latin headliner.
