ICE does not plan to conduct immigration operations during the Super Bowl, according to media outlets

Los Angeles (USA).- The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) has no plans to deploy operations during next Sunday at the Super Bowl LX, which will be held at the Santa Clara stadium, according to a document from the organizing committee addressed to local officials cited by US media.

The Bay Area organizing committee informed elected officials in Santa Clara and the neighboring cities of San Francisco and San Jose that “no ICE immigration enforcement operations are planned in connection with Super Bowl LX”, according to a memo obtained by the Washington Post and The Athletic.

However, the organizing committee explained that DHS will deploy federal agents to "ensure" the safety of fans, a measure "consistent" with previous encounters, according to the capital newspaper. The Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, had previously said that ICE would carry out immigration control operations at the Super Bowl, which had generated concern among local officials at one of the most important sporting events in the U.S. Immigrant rights defenders and activists in the Bay Area had warned about the possibility of raids near Levi’s Stadium, where the Seattle Seahawks will face the New England Patriots. The migration issue has marked the meeting, after it was known that the Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny will be in charge of the halftime show. This Sunday, the artist made history at the Grammys with his album 'DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS', which became the first entirely in Spanish to be crowned the best of the year, a moment he didn't waste to speak out against immigration operations. On stage, the singer reiterated his criticism of ICE: "Before thanking God, I am going to say: out with ICE," commented Bad Bunny, the most listened to artist in the world, with 19.8 billion streams on Spotify in 2025. It was expected that President Donald Trump would attend the game, as he did last year at the Super Bowl held in New Orleans, but he has excused himself arguing that he does not wish to travel such a long distance and has not liked the choice of musical artists, who perform at the event.
