ICE Agents to Monitor Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Show Amid Trump Administration Immigration Enforcement

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican Grammy-winning artist, is set to headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, making history as the first solo male Latin artist to do so. However, his selection has sparked controversy due to his outspoken criticism of President Trump's immigration policies and his previous refusal to tour in the U.S. out of fear that his fans could be targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Corey Lewandowski, an advisor to the Department of Homeland Security under Trump, confirmed that ICE agents will be patrolling the event, warning that undocumented attendees will be found, detained, and deported. Lewandowski also criticized the NFL's choice of Bad Bunny, labeling the artist as anti-American and expressing disdain for the decision. This development highlights the politicization of the Super Bowl halftime show, turning it into a platform intersecting cultural expression and immigration enforcement under the current administration. The Trump administration's hardline stance includes increased ICE raids and deportations, particularly affecting Latino communities, which has heightened tensions around the event.
