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.”

Bad Bunny at the Halftime Show: A Celebrated Artist

The Super Bowl’s halftime show has been a coveted platform for artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, and Beyoncé. It consistently attracts one of the largest television audiences annually. Recent performances also surge in popularity on digital platforms, drawing millions of views on social media.

  • Bad Bunny’s presence reflects the show’s trend of featuring top-charting artists.
  • He garners tens of millions of monthly listeners on Spotify, surpassing any other Latin artist.
  • As a three-time Grammy winner, he leads the nominations for the 2025 Latin Grammys.
