Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is making headlines after announcing that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will have a visible presence at **Super Bowl LX**, where Puerto Rican superstar **Bad Bunny** is set to headline the halftime show.
In an interview on *The Benny Show* with host Benny Johnson, Noem confirmed that ICE will be “all over” Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, when the NFL championship game kicks off on **February 8**. She emphasized that the Department of Homeland Security is “responsible for keeping it safe,” adding, “We’ll make sure everybody who goes to the Super Bowl has the opportunity to enjoy it and leave safely… So yeah, we’ll be all over that place.”
Noem, a vocal Trump ally, made it clear that immigration enforcement will be part of the operation. “We are going to enforce the law,” she stated. “People should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re law-abiding Americans who love this country.”
When asked about the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny, who previously avoided U.S. performances amid concerns about immigration crackdowns, Noem took aim at the league. “They suck and we’ll win,” she declared. “They’re weak, and we’ll fix it.”
Her comments follow similar remarks from Trump adviser **Corey Lewandowski**, who said earlier this week that under the current administration, “There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally — not the Super Bowl and nowhere else.”
Bad Bunny, born **Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio**, was confirmed as the **Super Bowl LX Halftime Show** headliner on **September 28**. The artist described the performance as a celebration “for my people, my culture, and our history.”
The announcement marks a milestone for the Grammy-winning performer, who has previously voiced concerns about ICE’s presence at U.S. events. “We were very concerned ICE could be outside [my concerts],” he told *i-D* magazine.
As preparations for the Super Bowl continue, Noem’s statements have sparked widespread debate over the balance between national security and cultural inclusion at one of America’s biggest sporting events.
