Despite his previous concerns about Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE) officers attending his concerts and detaining attendees-concerns that led him to cancel U.S. tour dates-ICE agents are expected to be present at the Super Bowl event. Corey Lewandowski, a top Department of Homeland security adviser, stated on a talk show that ICE will <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >enforce immigration laws rigorously<\/a>, including at the Super Bowl, warning that there is no safe haven for undocumented immigrants at such events. Lewandowski criticized the NFL&#8217;s choice of Bad Bunny as halftime performer, calling it &#8220;shameful&#8221; and suggesting that the league should pick entertainers who promote unity. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny expressed that his performance would honor his people, culture, and history. The article also notes backlash from conservative commentators over Bad Bunny&#8217;s selection for the halftime show. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">ICE could attend Super Bowl after Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny announced as halftime performer<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2362051\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> officers could attend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/super-bowl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Super Bowl<\/a> LIX, which will see a halftime performance from Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny.<\/p>\n<p>Top Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski suggested on <em>The Benny Show<\/em> on Wednesday that officers would be attending.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3832101\/jimmy-kimmel-stands-firm-trump-criticism-stephen-colbert\/\">Kimmel stands firm on Trump criticism with Colbert<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3831551\/late-night-host-jimmy-kimmel-melts-down-at-jd-vance-for-mocking-his-ratings\/\">Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel melts down at JD Vance for mocking his ratings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3831468\/jimmy-fallon-defends-show-as-nonpartisan-we-try-to-make-everybody-laugh\/\">Jimmy Fallon defends show as nonpartisan: &lsquo;We try to make everybody laugh&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;There is nowhere that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/crenshaw-takes-on-no-more-endless-wars-crowd-they-prefer-to-live-in-a-dream-world\/\" title=\"Crenshaw Takes On \u2018No More Endless Wars\u2019 Crowd: \u2018They Prefer To Live In A Dream World\u2019\">provide safe haven<\/a> to people in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-will-work-with-feds-on-immigration-crackdown-hochul-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"New York will work with feds on ... crackdown: Hochul - Washington Examiner\">country illegally &#038;mdash<\/a>; not the Super Bowl and nowhere else,&rdquo; Lewandowski said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We will find you.
