Bad Bunny has expressed strong concerns about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations at his concerts in the U.S. In a recent interview, he explained that one of the main reasons he did not include stops in the United States during his latest tour was fear of ICE raids, saying, "there was the issue of — like, fuc-ing ICE could be outside (my concert)," which made him and his team very worried. This fear stemmed from increased deportations and immigration enforcement under the current U.S. administration. This stance has sparked controversy, especially after Bad Bunny was announced as the performer for the Super Bowl LX halftime show in California. ICE officials are expected to have a presence at the event, leading to criticism from some political figures who consider Bad Bunny's comments and activism against ICE to be divisive. Bad Bunny’s supporters see his actions as standing up for Latino and immigrant communities, while critics accuse him of being anti-America or anti-ICE. In summary, Bad Bunny openly criticized ICE for its raids and deportations, revealing fear of ICE operations outside his concerts that led him to avoid U.S. stops on his tour. His anti-ICE comments have become a focal point of political and cultural debate surrounding his high-profile Super Bowl performance.
