ICE Reveals Immigrations Plans Ahead Of Super Bowl LX
ICE will have a strong presence outside Super Bowl LX in February 2026, where Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show in Santa Clara, California. During a podcast interview with Benny Johnson, Donald Trump’s advisor, Corey Lewandowski, emphasized that ICE will stop at nothing to deport people living in the U.S. illegally. “There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else,” Lewandowski explained.
Furthermore, Corey Lewandowski said Trump issued the directive himself, mentioning that his goal is to always keep Americans safe.
“We’re going to do enforcement everywhere. We are going to make Americans safe. That is a directive from the president. If you’re in this country illegally, do your a favor: Go home,” Lewandowski continued.
