Corey Lewandowski, a former campaign manager for Donald Trump, recently shared concerning news regarding the upcoming Super Bowl in 2026. During an episode of “The Benny Show,” Lewandowski asserted that ICE agents will be present at the event, where Bad Bunny is scheduled to perform during the Halftime Show.
Super Bowl 2026 and Bad Bunny’s Performance
The Halftime Show at the Super Bowl, which has become a highly anticipated event, will feature Bad Bunny. This performance marks his only scheduled concert in the United States for that year. His world tour, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” runs from December to July 2026 but does not include U.S. stops other than the Super Bowl.
Concerns of ICE Presence
In a discussion with Benny Johnson, Lewandowski emphasized that ICE will enforce immigration laws at the Super Bowl. He stated, “There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. We will find you and apprehend you.” This declaration echoes the current administration’s stringent immigration policies.
Bad Bunny’s Perspective
Bad Bunny has expressed his concerns about ICE operations impacting his performances. In a recent interview with I-D magazine, he explained that the fear of ICE raids has influenced his decision to focus on international touring rather than stopping in the U.S. “There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate,” he said.
Lewandowski’s Remarks on Entertainment Choices
Lewandowski criticized the selection of Bad Bunny for the Halftime Show, suggesting that there are other artists more suited to represent American values. According to him, “It’s so shameful they’ve decided to pick somebody who seems to hate America so much.” He advocated for inclusivity in entertainment, implying that Bad Bunny’s presence could create division rather than unity.
Commitment to Enforcement
According to Lewandowski, the current directive prioritizes safety and enforcement across all events. He asserted, “If there are illegal aliens, I don’t care if it’s a concert for Johnny Smith or Bad Bunny… We’re going to do enforcement everywhere.” This statement reflects a broader strategy of heightened immigration enforcement in various public settings.
Conclusion
The presence of ICE at the Super Bowl could signal a significant shift in the atmosphere of such major events. As Bad Bunny prepares for this iconic performance, the discussions surrounding immigration law enforcement continue to unfold, leaving many to speculate about the implications for both the artist and his audience.
