Kristi Noem Says ICE Will Be 'All Over' Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Show

(Variety) The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is doubling down on the threat of ICE at the 2026 Super Bowl.

During a recent appearance on Benny Johnson’s podcast, she said that ICE will be “all over that place” and has every intention to “enforce the law” at the NFL championship, which will feature Bad Bunny as the halftime performer.

Johnson, who suggested the NFL was trying to “send a message” to Donald Trump by booking Bad Bunny for the halftime show, asked Noem if she had a response to the sports organization.

“They suck and we’ll win and God will bless us,” Noem said. “We’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day, and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe and they’re so weak. We’ll fix it.”

Hardened criminals, violent gangbangers and drug overlords….

If they go to the Super Bowl and start roughing up well-heeled fans , how does that work out?

Seems they should have been at the Ryder Cup, where they could have attested white people rioting and throwing debris as European golfers and their families…..

Is there anyone anywhere that believes that undocumented immigrants are attending a sporting event where the tickets will be thousands of dollars?

He's making threats, riling up his MAGA morons and creating a "controversy" so the NFL will be forced to bend a knee.
