"ICE may be bogged down in controversy for shooting and killing people in Minnesota, but they insist they're not backing down on previously announced plans to have next weekend's Santa Clara Super Bowl crawling with ICE agents. We mentioned earlier today how San Francisco almost had a Minneapolis-style ICE immigration crackdown and invasion of agents, the likes of which has caused the fatal federal-agent shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti."
"TMZ got a statement out of the DHS detailing their Super Bowl immigration enforcement plans for the Santa Clara Super Bowl that is just 13 days away. "DHS is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the Super Bowl is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event, including the World Cup," DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin told TMZ. "Our mission remains unchanged.""
ICE intends to deploy agents to enforce immigration laws at the Santa Clara Super Bowl despite controversy and recent federal-agent shootings in Minnesota. San Francisco nearly experienced a comparable Minneapolis-style ICE crackdown that was called off after Mayor Daniel Lurie persuaded President Trump in October. The Department of Homeland Security confirms ICE enforcement at the Super Bowl and describes coordination with local and federal partners to keep the event safe. DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the agency's mission remains unchanged. ICE has maintained some Super Bowl presence since 2002, and critics fear more aggressive or unlawful actions under the current administration.
