US Homeland Security Secretary Warns NFL About Sleepless Nights Over Choosing Bad Bunny for Superbowl Performance
Super Bowl LX Immigration Alert: Enhanced Security Measures in Place
Heightened Security Plans for Super Bowl LX
In a recent announcement, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has issued a firm alert regarding the upcoming Super Bowl LX in February 2026. She emphasized the presence of immigration enforcement at the event, urging only law-abiding U.S. citizens to attend. Her declaration was made on the YouTube program of conservative content creator Benny Johnson.
The decision comes amid the National Football League’s (NFL) announcement that Puerto Rican urban artist Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show. Known for his Spanish-language music and criticism of immigration enforcement practices in the U.S., Bad Bunny’s selection has sparked controversy among conservative circles. Some question whether he is “American enough” for the national event.
Reactions to Bad Bunny’s Halftime Performance
Taking to social media, Johnson, who boasts nearly 4 million followers on X, labeled Bad Bunny as an “adamant enemy of Trump” and an “activist against ICE.” He further critiqued the NFL’s decision, claiming it signifies self-destruction for the league. Responding to these views, Noem remarked, “They may struggle to sleep at night, but we will have a clear conscience.”
ICE Presence at the Sporting Event
Noem confirmed that immigration enforcement agents will indeed be present at the Super Bowl, the pinnacle of American football. The news has stirred discussions following Bad Bunny’s previous statement to i-D magazine. He highlighted concerns over potential ICE raids, which influenced his decision to perform exclusively in Puerto Rico rather than mainland U.S.
She explained, “The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for ensuring safety at the event. It is my duty to make sure attendees can enjoy the Super Bowl safely.”
