Oct. 1 (UPI) — Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will attend the Super Bowl’s halftime show featuring Bad Bunny.
Lewandowski, 52, appeared on “The Benny Show” podcast on Wednesday when he made his claim about ICE at the Super Bowl, according to The Hill.
“There is nowhere that you can provide a safe haven to the people in this country illegally,” Lewandowski said in response to a question from podcast host Benny Johnson.
“We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you,” he claimed.
Lewandowski was President Donald Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and a senior adviser in 2020 and 2024.
The Super Bowl is the only U.S. performance scheduled so far in 2026 for Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny, who is from Puerto Rico and has won three Grammy Awards.
The popular rapper last month said he was skipping performing in the United States due to his fear that ICE would raid his concert venues, Variety reported.
Bad Bunny on Sunday affirmed he is skipping dates in the United States, other than the Super Bowl, next year, according to Billboard.
“I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States,” he posted on X.
The popular rapper has a world tour scheduled from December through July, but said concerns that ICE might show up at U.S. shows caused him to skip performing here.
The Super Bowl is scheduled at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8.
