ICE's Super Bowl Presence Sparks Concerns From Bad Bunny
The upcoming Super Bowl is set to have a significant presence from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to Secretary Kristi Noem. This announcement has sparked concerns from some high-profile figures, including Bad Bunny, the scheduled halftime performer.
The news was first broken by Corey Lewandowski, former campaign manager for Donald Trump. Secretary Noem has since confirmed that ICE will be enforcing the law at the 2026 Super Bowl. This decision has been met with mixed reactions.
Bad Bunny, who is set to perform at the halftime show, has expressed his concerns about ICE's presence at his concerts in the U.S. The Puerto Rican singer has a large following among immigrants and has been vocal about his support for their rights. Despite these concerns, Bad Bunny's residency in Puerto Rico will continue, including shows in the U.S.
Secretary Noem has doubled down on the threat of ICE's presence at the Super Bowl. She has stated that only 'law-abiding Americans who love the country' should attend the event. However, it remains unclear who will coordinate ICE's presence at the game.
The 2026 Super Bowl is shaping up to be a high-profile event with significant law enforcement presence. While Secretary Noem has made it clear that ICE will be enforcing the law, details about their role and coordination remain uncertain. Bad Bunny's concerns about ICE's presence at his concerts have raised questions about the potential impact on attendees and performers.
