Kristi Noem warned about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show amid concerns over deportations linked to performer Bad Bunny’s protest.

  • On Friday Noem told Benny Johnson `They suck, and we'll win` while right‑wing commentators and MAGA influencers slammed the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny.

  • Commentators say the choice could make the game politically charged, as Bad Bunny, a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico who recently wrapped a residency this month, will host Season 51 of Saturday Night Live on Saturday.
