    The Trump administration has issued a cautionary note ahead of Super Bowl LX, confirming that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be present at the high-profile event where Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is slated to headline the halftime show.

    Corey Lewandowski recently made a very stern declaration concerning the federal government's perspective on undocumented immigration by stating that nothing in the United States can be used as a sanctuary.

    Even significant community events such as the Super Bowl, he argued, would not offer protection to those who are in the country without legal status.

    To him, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is still dedicated to the pursuit of undocumented immigrants, detaining them once caught, and incarcerating them.

    Lewandowski continued by saying that this is indicative of a noticeable change in enforcement during the current administration, which he said is much more aggressive than previous policies. He said (via Complex):

    "There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else... So know that that is a very real situation under this administration, which is completely contrary to how it used to be..."
