Santa Clara, California – The upcoming Super Bowl 60 is stirring up quite a bit of debate, especially with the announcement that Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny will be performing at the halftime show. As a popular artist and three-time Grammy winner, Bad Bunny’s inclusion has not only excited fans but also drawn attention due to his outspoken views against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has made it clear that authorities will be actively enforcing immigration laws during the Super Bowl. Speaking on a recent talk show, Noem emphasized her responsibility to ensure that all attendees can enjoy the game safely. “I have the responsibility to make sure everybody who goes to the Super Bowl has the opportunity to enjoy it and to leave safely,” she stated. “That’s what America’s about,” she added, stressing that only “law-abiding Americans who love this country” should feel comfortable attending this major event.
When questioned about Bad Bunny’s views on ICE and his decision not to perform in the United States due to potential ICE raids, Noem expressed her disapproval of the NFL’s choice. “They suck, and we’ll win. God will bless us, and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day,” she remarked. Her comments reflect a growing tension as immigration enforcement remains a hot topic in the country.
Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski also weighed in, stating that there will be no safe haven for undocumented individuals during the Super Bowl. “There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally,” he declared. Lewandowski underscored the seriousness of the current administration’s stance on immigration, contrasting it with previous years.
Bad Bunny has consistently voiced his opposition to ICE and has expressed concerns that agents could be present at his shows. “It’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” he shared in a recent interview, indicating the challenges artists face amid the ongoing discussions surrounding immigration enforcement.
As Super Bowl 60 approaches, fans are divided not only over the matchup but also over the choice of performer for the halftime show. With intense political implications now intertwined with sports, this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about in recent history.
