Federal immigration authorities from the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are set to be deployed around Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, ahead of the championship game on 8 February 2026.

According to FOX News, officials have confirmed that ICE agents will be a visible presence in and around Levi's Stadium, where the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will compete.

If anything has been proven over and over again in the last few months it is that being "legal" does not protect you from ICE.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 95 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Literally the only way they can hit the numbers of deportations needed is by deporting legal citizens too, there simply aren't enough illegal immigrants in the US to fulfill their fascist dreams.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Deporting legal citizens to... where?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 43 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To basically anywhere that will take them.

If we're taking consideration of the lessons we learned from history, when Nazi Germany ran out of other countries to send their undesirables, the death camps were constructed.

So... what happens when other countries get tired of accepting thousands of U.S. deportees?

Miller is waiting for the excuse with plans already made preemptively, I'm sure, the fucking Nazi worm.

Concentration camp in a country they've never been to.

This is how you start a riot at a national sporting event

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Thats their goal. The people in MN aren't reacting violently like they wanted, so they have to try their tactics elsewhere.

[–] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

Smart. Gotta find all those first generation immigrants in Silicon Valley who are buying $6,000 a seat Super Bowl tickets. Makes sense.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 84 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just like Renée Good and Alex Pretti had nothing to fear?

I would think the only undocumented immigrants you'd find at the Super Bowl would be the Elon Musk-types.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 39 points 5 days ago (7 children)

He thinks it'll be a "show of force" and that people not liking ICE will somehow translate to people liking ICE?

Like, it's fucking ICE, if there's squads of them running around the super bowl, they're gonna escalate to violence all over the place.

Having to pause the Super Bowl because ICE is beating wealthy Americans who can afford SB tickets is not gonna be a "win" with anyone for ICE.

It's going to make it completely unavoidable. I mean, there's a good chance they'd have to call/postpone the game. If ICE kills someone in the stands, are they just gonna keep playing?

Look at the chaos they cause in an empty street, in a packed stadium it's gonna be a million times worse.

The food service staff all go through e-verify, so the government already stated they are authorized to work.

ICE won't care.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

What a chance for them to alienate an even bigger part of the country.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is the country that wants to have the soccer world cup. Who in their right mind would go watch that? Watch soccer, get arrested and sent to a concentration camp.

Or what about the players?

I actually seriously expect trump to just order the arrest all competing teams for immigration reasons, and then just declare the US winner because there is nobody left to compete.

Something something “Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics” I guess.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would say the old Nazis were more professional, but that's a myth.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

They just dressed better.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Well yeah, but back them most people were bit ever aware of what fascism can and will do

Now we know

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Sorry bro. I don't want to get shot.

Or watch football.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 53 points 5 days ago (3 children)

They basically want to make the Super Bowl a whites only event.

This is just about instilling fear so that people of color won’t attend.

YOUR COUNTRY IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST HELLHOLE!

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

It already is a whites only event. Do you know how much it costs to get in? Very few POC have that type of disposable income unless they're already in the "one-of-the-good-ones" club.

If anything this is a shakedown of the NFLs undocumented concession workers.

i'm wondering now if i should place a bet on bad bunny being abducted by ice during his performance.

Tell that to the more than 170 US citizens detained by this gestapo.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 5 days ago

I'd tell it to all the people ICE has killed, except those people are dead.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago

Member back in the day when we worried a foreign group would attack Americans during the superbowl?

Good times.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Right. And how they are going to determine the difference between those fans? Skin color? Seat number? Checking everyone’s passport at entry? Accent?

Yeah, because illegal immigrant day laborers can afford ~$7,000 for Superbowl tickets in the nosebleed section.
(my wife just priced tickets over the weekend)

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They won't be targeting the wealthy fans. they'll be targeting the workers in order to punish the "woke" NFL and any associated contractors running the event.

They may even target players. And there will 100% be a bunch of attempts at funny business on the betting markets.

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 days ago

Black Sunday except the government is the iron hand of terror.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

Give ice something to fear. Wait a second, they are scared of everything & I am afraid that that the NFL has hired a secret security team to counteract this predicted ice folly.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Honestly that's going to be potentially Hilarisad.

Alcohol, belligerent fans, and racist, shoot happy ICE.

Just a big ol' idiot racist Trump powder keg waiting to happen.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

All while Trump is too much of a coward to attend in person. Probably afraid of the public opinion. I wonder why?

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He’s throwing a tantrum because Green Day is opening it and Bad Bunny is the half time act.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

He also got booed at the last one, every sporting event he's attended he's gotten booed at, we all know how thin his skin is because we can see the blood pooling beneath it.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Whoever they are...

This may be the first super bowl I've ever watched, just to see what a monumental fuck up it might become. Either the stands will be half empty, or there will be pockets of violence/shootings all over the place.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Superbowl Sniper Nest

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

Really? Lets ask Renėe Good and Alex Pretti about their legal status. Oh that's right. You can't. They're dead.

Fart on them.

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Another confirmation that it’s all performative. They just want to be on camera for the biggest TV event of the year.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They’re even going to ruin the Super Bowl? Wow, these people are the absolute fucking worst.

Mostly for show, tickets to this are like $2000 per person at the absolute minimum. They generally prey on the poor.
