ABC News fill-in moderator Joy Behar continued her doom and gloom crash out from earlier in week during Friday’s edition of The View. This time however, Behar was sent reeling by Trump ally Corey Lewandowski saying that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be enforcing immigration at the Super Bowl next year, since singer Bad Bunny was preforming. Behar suggested that ICE would start violent clashes with Super Bowl attendees and that ICE arresting people showed they hated America.
Near the top of the show, Behar played a soundbite of Lewandowski’s comments as if he was an official in the Trump administration (despite him not being involved in any way with ICE or the Department of Homeland Security). She bizarrely griped that Lewandowski would argue that Bad Bunny hated America when it was the Trump administration arresting people:
LEWANDOWSKI: [T]here is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you, we will apprehend you, we will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you. So, know that is a very real situation under this administration. [Transition] It's so shameful that they've decided to pick somebody who just seems to hate America so much to represent them at the halftime game.
[Cuts back to live]
JOY BEHAR: We will arrest you, but they hate America!
“Okay, so Bad Bunny has spoken out against Trump's immigration policies and he even refused to do a nationwide U.S. tour because of ICE raids. Now, is that why they're sending ICE to the game? They're mad at Bad Bunny, right?” she asked the rest of the table.
Fake Republican Ana Navarro boasted that “the Latino community is taking a victory lap” because of the Bad Bunny performance. She proclaimed that "the more mad" "racist snowflakes" get about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, "the more gleeful I am!"
Behar chimed in to read false talking points off a card again to insist that the Supreme Court had given ICE approval to use racial profiling and were using it at the court themselves:
BEHAR: The Supreme Court ruled that federal agents can get you and question you if you are speaking Spanish.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah.
BEHAR: Or if you look Spanish.
HOSTIN: Yes.
BEHAR: They can take you in for questioning. They gasped because I said to somebody –
[Crosstalk]
I don't think people know that, that the Supreme Court itself is racial profiling.
“I don’t like it. I don’t like it,” Behar later interrupted to decry the idea of ICE doing their jobs. “I feel as though it's normalizing these ICE people showing up all over the place.”
Behar would on to suggest that ICE would be the cause of mass violence at the Super Bowl and start attacking people because they looked Hispanic:
BEHAR: Don’t you think that their presence might cause violence in the group?
(…)
BEHAR: What are they just going to be looking around saying, oh, you're Spanish, you're Spanish? Get out of here! What type of country are we living in? Is what I want to know.
Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin did note that “the Department of Homeland Security always has a huge presence at the Super Bowl because there are always threats against it, terrorist and otherwise.” But floated the idea that ICE being there could “detract resources” from the broader mission to protect the event. But what she didn’t mention (or was too ignorant to know) was that ICE had been present at Super Bowls in the last.
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will have a large presence in Houston, Texas, over the next week as the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots prepare to face off in Super Bowl LI on Sunday, Feb. 5,” the agency wrote in 2017. “Personnel from ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) will be on hand to help protect the estimated one million fans traveling to Houston for the numerous events throughout the week.”
They’re likely to be doing the same in 2026.

ANA NAVARRO: Look, there is no doubt that the Latino community is taking a victory lap on this, because, listen, you know, at a time when you see Latino immigrants being racially profiled, when you see immigrants being hunted down like animals, when it's been a really hard nine months for the Latino community, most of us, many of us. To hear that Bad Bunny is going to be in that huge stage representing makes us -- gives us something to be happy about and to celebrate.
And you know what? The more mad they are, the more gleeful I am! So the fact –
[Cheers and applause]
-- The fact that the racist snowflakes are having a meltdown that Bad Bunny is going to be there. I have news for them, Bad Bunny was already in the Super Bowl halftime. He was a guess artist with Shakira in 2020. And you know what? None of your heads exploded, so it's okay. You're going to be fine. Somebody – there’s another racist hand to hold.
BEHAR: The Supreme Court ruled that federal agents can get you and question you if you are speaking Spanish.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah.

NAVARRO: I think Corey Lewandowski just wants an excuse to be at the Super Bowl to watch Bad Bunny.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Yes! It’s possible.
NAVARRO: For free!
BEHAR: I don’t like it. I don’t like it. I feel as though it's normalizing these ICE people showing up all over the place.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: To be honest –
[Crosstalk]
FARAH GRIFFIN: - a bunch of super wealthy people!
BEHAR: Don’t you think that their presence might cause violence in the group? I mean -
FARAH GRIFFIN: Well, we should note, by the way, DHS, the Department of Homeland Security always has a huge presence at the Super Bowl because there are always threats against it, terrorist and otherwise. So, there's a very important law enforcement role to keep people safe there. I would hope that this wouldn't detract resources from that because that is --
BEHAR: What are they just going to be looking around saying, oh, you're Spanish, you're Spanish? Get out of here! What type of country are we living in? Is what I want to know.
