Title: ICE to Monitor Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will be present at the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny, according to Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump adviser. This announcement comes as the NFL confirmed Bad Bunny's performance for Super Bowl LX, scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Lewandowski, who has ties to the Department of Homeland Security, made the statement during a podcast appearance. He emphasized that there would be no safe haven for undocumented immigrants at the event. "There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else," he said. He added, "We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility and we will deport you."

The presence of ICE at the event has raised concerns, particularly among those who fear deportation. Lewandowski's comments reflect a broader enforcement strategy under the current administration, which he claims is a departure from previous policies. He criticized the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny, stating, "It’s so shameful they’ve decided to pick somebody who seems to hate America so much to represent them at the halftime show."

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has expressed concerns about ICE's presence at his events. He previously stated that he chose to skip U.S. tour dates due to fears that "f—ing ICE" could be outside his concert venues. His upcoming world tour, the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, will begin in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on November 21 and conclude in Brussels, Belgium, on July 22, 2026.

Despite these concerns, Bad Bunny recently completed a successful residency in Puerto Rico, attracting over half a million fans. He is also a leading nominee for the upcoming Latin Grammys. In a recent interview, he clarified that his decision to avoid U.S. performances was not out of hate but rather due to safety concerns for himself and his fans. "There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate," he said.

As the Super Bowl approaches, the intersection of entertainment and immigration enforcement continues to draw attention, highlighting the ongoing national debate over immigration policies and their implications for cultural events.
