NFL Security Chief Says No ICE Enforcement Planned for Super Bowl LX

DHS will provide security support without disclosing which agencies are involved.

Overview

  • Cathy Lanier said ICE is not deployed with the NFL’s Super Bowl security team and that no immigration enforcement operations are planned around game‑related events.
  • A Bay Area Host Committee memo told local officials the NFL confirmed with DHS that there are no planned ICE immigration enforcement operations associated with Super Bowl LX.
  • DHS official Jeffrey Brannigan indicated in private calls that ICE does not plan enforcement during Super Bowl week, according to reports, though DHS has not publicly detailed personnel.
  • DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said federal agents will support event security and declined to discuss future operations or specific agency roles.
  • Officials reported no specific or credible threats to the event as a SEAR‑1 operation proceeds under a multi‑agency plan developed over 18 months, following heightened scrutiny after recent fatal federal actions in Minneapolis.
