In a recent development, US authorities have hinted at the possibility of conducting immigration enforcement operations during next year’s Super Bowl, following the announcement that Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show. Corey Lewandowski, an advisor to Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem, emphasized that no location, including the Super Bowl, would be exempt from immigration enforcement. “We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you,” Lewandowski stated during a podcast with conservative influencer Benny Johnson. This stance aligns with President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration crackdown, which aims to deport millions of undocumented individuals residing in the US. Bad Bunny, who recently skipped the US on his global tour due to fears of immigration targeting, has become a focal point of controversy. Lewandowski criticized the NFL for its ‘woke’ decision to feature Bad Bunny, accusing the artist of harboring anti-American sentiments. The selection of Bad Bunny, who predominantly performs in Spanish and supported Trump’s 2024 rival Kamala Harris, has further incited backlash from Trump’s loyal Make America Great Again movement. Historically, Super Bowl halftime shows have featured iconic performers like Michael Jackson and Madonna, but this year’s choice has sparked a heated political debate.
