DHS confirms Super Bowl security role amid fears of ICE enforcement — but details remain unclear

With Super Bowl LX less than two weeks away, federal officials have confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security will be involved in security for the Bay Area’s biggest event in years — a routine role the department plays at major sporting events — even as viral reports and heightened national tensions have fueled fears that immigration enforcement could be tied to the game.

DHS said this week it will be involved in Super Bowl security but declined to detail what personnel or operations that presence will include.
