Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else.” He emphasized the administration’s commitment to apprehending and deporting illegal immigrants.

Controversy Over Halftime Show Choice
Lewandowski criticized the decision to feature Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, suggesting that the artist harbors anti-American sentiments. “We should be trying to be inclusive, not exclusive,” he said. “There are plenty of great bands and entertainment people who could bring communities together.”
Enforcement and Safety Prioritized
Concluding his interview, Lewandowski reiterated the administration’s focus on enforcing immigration laws to ensure American safety. He warned that events like concerts would not deter them from taking necessary actions against illegal aliens.
