The Gateway Pundit reported that the National Football League announced that anti-Trump Puerto Rican rap star Bad Bunny will be the Apple Music Halftime entertainer for Super Bowl LX, to be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026.
Bad Bunny has been vocal about his disdain for efforts to protect Americans through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement and declared in an interview that he would not tour the United States out of fear that ICE agents would arrest his fans outside his shows.
He also posted a video earlier this year, cursing at ICE agents in Puerto Rico.
To his critics, he sneered, “You have four months” to learn Spanish.

While Bad Bunny feigns concern about ICE and events, they routinely attend major events like the Super Bowl, primarily to address security concerns such as human trafficking, counterfeit merchandise, and illegal immigration enforcement. During the 2025 Super Bowl, ICE was reported to have a significant presence, focusing on identifying and apprehending individuals involved in illegal activities.
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, confirmed that ICE agents will be present again at the Super Bowl in February.
“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.”
The choice of a prominent anti-Trump anti-ICE (ie. anti-law and order) performer has created controversy.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) announced that they are providing an alternative to the hate-fest, an ‘All American Halftime Show.’
They announced the news on X sharing, “HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!” It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show.”
“Performers and event details coming soon.”
