According to members of President Donald Trump’s administration, the US immigration and customs enforcement agency will be attending the 2026 Super Bowl and its halftime show.
Corey Lewandowski – Top advisors for Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2024 campaigns are currently supporting the Department of Homeland Security, but confirmed the news a few days after rapper Bad Bunny was announced as a Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performer.
When she appeared on the October 1 episode of the Benny Show podcast, Lewandowski was asked by host Benny Johnson if she would “executive at the Super Bowl of the Bad Bunny Halftime Show.”
“We cannot provide safe shelters to those who are illegal in this country,” replied Lewandowski. “It’s not the Super Bowl, not elsewhere. We’ll find you, arrest you, put you in detention and deport you.”
“So I know that’s a very realistic situation under this administration. It’s against what it used to be,” he added.

Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny was born in Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio and was confirmed as headlining for next year on Sunday, September 28th. The 31-year-old will be on stage during a game at Levi’s stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8th, 2026.
On Monday, September 29th, Bad Bunny told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden: “I’m really excited about my friends, my family. Puerto Rico, all Latino people in the world are excited about my culture. I feel really good.
In a statement following the announcement, Bad Bunny also said that the performance sponsored by Apple Music is “for my people, my culture and our history.”
The musician also spoke about his career moments on the X-Post, saying, “I was thinking about it recently. After discussing with my team, I think I’ll just do one date in the US,” referring to his decision to skip the US or his Debí Más Fotos world tour.
Last month, Bad Bunny revealed his decision to cover ID stories.
“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US, but none of them were out of hatred. I played there many times,” Bud Bunny said. “Everything (the show) is successful. They were all epic.”

“I enjoy connecting with Latinos who live in the US, but specifically because of my residency in Puerto Rico, when we are unincorporated territory of the US… American people were able to come here and see the show.”

When he appeared on the Benny Show, Lewandowsky called out a selection of Bad Bunny, saying half-time performers “embarrassing.”
“It’s so embarrassing that they decided to choose someone who appears to dislike America to represent them in the halftime game,” he said.
“We should try to be comprehensive, not exclusive,” added Lewandowski. “There are a lot of great bands and entertainment people who can play at that show.
“I think we’re going to do some little news here that Corey is going to say it’s going to be an ice execution at the Bad Bunny concert at the Super Bowl.”
“It’s everywhere. Bad bunnies play… If there’s illegal aliens, I don’t care if it’s a Johnny Smith or a Bad Bunny concert. We’re going to enforce anywhere, because we’re going to make Americans safe,” Lewandowski said in response.
“It’s a command from the President, and if you’re in this country, if you’re illegally in favor of yourself, you’ll go home and buy a plane ticket. You’ll have the opportunity to leave the country and return legally.”
