“There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally,” was Lewandowski’s response. “Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you and apprehend you and put you in a detention facility and deport you.”

TFW the government doesn't know the difference between a citizen and undocumented migrant.

Just read the article and it was more that Bad Bunny has been avoiding playing a lot of shows in the US due to the possibility of ICE targeting his audience, and this seems to be ICE confirming that's their jam and they will do it.

Edit: but also, yes, the govt doesn't know and they are 100% just going after people that "look Mexican" in places where ICE is concentrated.

So are they going to arrest a citizen for playing music they don’t like, or are they going to arrest the illegal immigrants paying thousands of dollars to go to an event with cameras everywhere?

I don’t get what they hope to achieve except for sending a bunch of agents to the Super Bowl presumably for free.

I can imagine arresting bad Bunny or something. I mean they did deport all those South Koreans from that plant. Except one asshole.

Yep he's a US citizen born in the US.

Doesn't mean ICE can't disappear him tho.

Intimidation and maybe recruiting. Best case.

I suppose security is already on point at such an event, so all they have to do at such place, worst case, is to make a brutal display of power by getting into fights with random people.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 days ago

I mean if they’re there they can’t be victimizing people elsewhere so alright.

[–] Penguin_1024@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 4 days ago

Maybe they don't understand why he wasn't playing shows in the U.S. He was afraid that ICE might arrest attendees because most people who listen to his music speak Spanish and might look like what the administration thinks Hispanics look like.

The Superbowl is a highly televised event where tickets cost hundreds of dollars. Not too many people who don't have good lawyers can even get tickets, so he's not nearly as afraid of people being arrested there.

[–] Taco2112@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Right, because of all the free health care that illegal immigrants get, they’re all rich enough to attend one of the most expensive events in the country.

It’s either that or, it’s all just more posturing and another fantastic waste of money by the US government with no gains for the American people.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 days ago

1936 olympics anyone?

~~Adolf Hitler~~ Donald Trump oversaw an ~~Olympic Games~~ Superbowl that was staged to glorify himself and Nazi-led ~~Germany~~ USA, to paraphrase this subheading.

Intimidation, self-adulation, brownshirts. Disgusting.

Will there be an "ICE cam" instead of a "kiss cam", documenting US GeStaPo behavior to the general public?

How about live doxxing? There are efforts to de-mask them using AI, after all. "The masked agent beating his victim unconscious is, according to our AI analytics, officer John P. Halton from the Ambern, Texas, office of the ICE."

I guess they can turned it into some kind of propaganda fuel too

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

The stupidest thing you've ever heard so far.
