DHS Indicates No ICE Enforcement Planned at Super Bowl in Santa Clara
DHS officials privately indicated no Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations during Super Bowl week; over 184,000 people signed a petition opposing ICE presence, organizers said.
- Jeff Brannigan, a DHS official, privately told local officials and the NFL that ICE does not plan enforcement actions during Super Bowl week or at the game.
- As activists mobilized nationally, local immigrant-rights groups and the Rapid Response Network expanded volunteers and legal support to document ICE activity and assist families.
- A petition backed by over 184,000 people and accompanying rallies highlighted public opposition, with MoveOn planning to deliver the petition to the NFL's New York City headquarters and local rallies drawing over 100 Santa Clara County residents.
- Santa Clara City Council on Tuesday will discuss ordinances to bar ICE on city property, while on Super Bowl Sunday observers coalition will deploy teams near Levi's Stadium to spot federal agents.
- This development positions the Super Bowl as a global, politically visible event, with ICE officers at last year's Super Bowl in New Orleans tying enforcement to the Trump administration.
