""We have a \"Week of Action\" during the Super Bowl. The point of this Week of Action is to send a message not only to Kristi Noem -- that she's not welcome here -- but also that ICE is not welcome in this community," Joao Paulo Connolly, Silicon Valley Rising Action Organizing Director."
A digital billboard at Fisherman's Wharf reads "Defensive Player of the Year: ICE" and draws mixed reactions from visitors. Some expressed anger and fear about the billboard's message, while others defended ICE's role. In San Jose, dozens marched against ICE, joined by immigrant rights groups, community organizations and labor unions. Organizers announced a "Week of Action" during the Super Bowl to oppose Kristi Noem's presence and to declare ICE unwelcome in the community. Concerned residents said they worry about escalating enforcement and plan continued activism as the Super Bowl nears.
