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 3 months 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 3 months ago (3 children)

Deporting legal citizens to... where?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 43 points 3 months 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?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 29 points 3 months ago

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

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 3 months ago (2 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.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's what they want; an excuse to impose full martial law.

[–] wagesj45@fedia.io 13 points 3 months ago (4 children)

What excuse do they need? They could just do it now if they want. Killing random civilians isn't going to give them the popular support to maintain martial law. They're fucked in that regard either way.

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

ICE won't care.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 84 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 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.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do not tune in(no matter what country you live in), do not go. Make it a failure of epic proportions.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Empty stands would make a bigger statement IMO.

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

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 months ago

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago (9 children)

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

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can’t bet on laws being broken, that’s why they got rid of the streaker bet

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

i'd argue they got rid of the streaker bet because that's one you yourself can influence.

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

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

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

Good times.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

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

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

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

Or watch football.

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.

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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

To be fair this year’s teams kinda did that on their own.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Lmfao holy shit this is gonna get absolutely fucking wild. I would not be at all shocked if ICE incites a mass casualty event - either through just firing into crowds, or inciting a riot, or causing a stampede, or any number of other things.

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.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago
[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago

Fart on them.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 10 points 3 months ago (5 children)

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

But the Owner of the NFL gave Trump SO Much Money! WHY is he Ruining HIS Business Too!

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

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

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (6 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.
