Federal immigration authorities from the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are set to be deployed around Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, ahead of the championship game on 8 February 2026.

According to FOX News, officials have confirmed that ICE agents will be a visible presence in and around Levi’s Stadium, where the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will compete.

    Give ice something to fear. Wait a second, they are scared of everything & I am afraid that that the NFL has hired a secret security team to counteract this predicted ice folly.

    If anything has been proven over and over again in the last few months it is that being “legal” does not protect you from ICE.

      Literally the only way they can hit the numbers of deportations needed is by deporting legal citizens too, there simply aren’t enough illegal immigrants in the US to fulfill their fascist dreams.

          To basically anywhere that will take them.

          If we’re taking consideration of the lessons we learned from history, when Nazi Germany ran out of other countries to send their undesirables, the death camps were constructed.

          So… what happens when other countries get tired of accepting thousands of U.S. deportees?

    Member back in the day when we worried a foreign group would attack Americans during the superbowl?

    Good times.

    I would think the only undocumented immigrants you’d find at the Super Bowl would be the Elon Musk-types.

      He thinks it’ll be a “show of force” and that people not liking ICE will somehow translate to people liking ICE?

      Like, it’s fucking ICE, if there’s squads of them running around the super bowl, they’re gonna escalate to violence all over the place.

      Having to pause the Super Bowl because ICE is beating wealthy Americans who can afford SB tickets is not gonna be a “win” with anyone for ICE.

      It’s going to make it completely unavoidable. I mean, there’s a good chance they’d have to call/postpone the game. If ICE kills someone in the stands, are they just gonna keep playing?

      Look at the chaos they cause in an empty street, in a packed stadium it’s gonna be a million times worse.

          What excuse do they need? They could just do it now if they want. Killing random civilians isn’t going to give them the popular support to maintain martial law. They’re fucked in that regard either way.

            What excuse do they need?

            Like you said, one that will give them popular support, or one where they can murder enough people to scare others from fighting back.

            And they’re going to keep trying until it works.

        The food service staff all go through e-verify, so the government already stated they are authorized to work.

        ICE won’t care.

    Mostly for show, tickets to this are like $2000 per person at the absolute minimum. They generally prey on the poor.

    They basically want to make the Super Bowl a whites only event.

    This is just about instilling fear so that people of color won’t attend.

    YOUR COUNTRY IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST HELLHOLE!

      It already is a whites only event. Do you know how much it costs to get in? Very few POC have that type of disposable income unless they’re already in the “one-of-the-good-ones” club.

      If anything this is a shakedown of the NFLs undocumented concession workers.

    Yeah, because illegal immigrant day laborers can afford ~$7,000 for Superbowl tickets in the nosebleed section.
    (my wife just priced tickets over the weekend)

      They won’t be targeting the wealthy fans. they’ll be targeting the workers in order to punish the “woke” NFL and any associated contractors running the event.

      They may even target players. And there will 100% be a bunch of attempts at funny business on the betting markets.
