"We're going to keep monitoring the situation, but we have no belief that there is anything different than what happens around a Tier-1 event of this magnitude from the federal law enforcement,"
"we don't anticipate unusual ICE activity" at the Super Bowl, and that the state would "work with state and local officials to ensure everyone's safety."
"cannot and will not interrupt or assist with legal immigration enforcement - but they will protect you, your freedoms and our city."
Local and state officials report no awareness of ICE or Customs and Border Patrol being part of Super Bowl security beyond routine federal law enforcement for a Tier-1 event. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said there is no indication of unusual immigration enforcement activity. Governor Gavin Newsom's office said it does not anticipate unusual ICE activity and will work with state and local officials to ensure safety. Immigrant defense groups are educating businesses and families on how to recognize and respond if they encounter ICE or CBP. Bay Area leaders acknowledge public concern while noting limits on local police participation in federal immigration enforcement and the need for some cooperation for major events.
