Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Performance Sparks Immigration Debate
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny has sparked controversy with his decision to skip U.S. tour dates and perform at the Super Bowl LX halftime show. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has criticized the NFL's choice of performer and expressed confidence in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce immigration laws during the event.
Bad Bunny, known for his social activism, previously expressed concerns about his fans being targeted by ICE at his U.S. concerts. Following this, he chose not to include U.S. stops on his tour, citing fears of ICE targeting his fans. This decision has drawn criticism from Governor Noem, who stated that only law-abiding Americans should attend the Super Bowl.
Noem, who has no opposing team in the Super Bowl LX as she is not a sports team participant, has publicly bet on ICE against the NFL. She has confidence in ICE's ability to enforce immigration laws during the event. Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has also threatened ICE enforcement at the Super Bowl. The Department of Homeland Security has warned attendees of Bad Bunny's halftime show about potential safety risks.
