The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, has confirmed that ICE agents will be present at the Super Bowl.
In an interview with conservative influencer Benny Johnson, Noem said that ICE agents would be there to enforce the law against illegal immigrations.
“We’ll be all over that place. We are going to enforce the law. You shouldn’t be coming to the Super Bowl unless you are a law abiding American citizen.”
Noem also slammed the National Football League (NFL) as a weak organization.
“The NFL sucks and we’ll win. They are so weak. We will stand for America. They won’t be able to sleep at night. We’ll fix it.”

Noem’s comments come after Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny was announced as the main entertainment act at next year’s Super Bowl.
The singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has previously stated that he would refuse to perform in the U.S. for fear that ICE could round up his fans.
During an interview published by I-D Magazine last month, Bad Bunny was asked whether Trump’s policy of mass deportations was the reason why he would not perform in America.
He responded:
There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US, and none of them were out of hate—I’ve performed there many times.
All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S.
But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the US… People from the US could come here to see the show.
Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world.
But there was the issue of—like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.
Bad Bunny has not yet confirmed whether he will cancel his performance.
