NFL chief security officer Cathy Lanier told a briefing Tuesday that federal security at Super Bowl LX will mirror previous games and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers will not be deployed at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. “There are no planned ICE enforcement activities,” she said, underscoring confidence in the plan.

In the days before the announcement, Department of Homeland Security official Jeff Brannigan hosted private calls with local officials and the league, indicating ICE would stay out of the week‑long event. Earlier, President Donald Trump and DHS adviser Corey Lewandowski warned that agents would be “all over” the venue, a stance echoed by secretary Kristi Noem.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said he remains confident the game will be “safe and fun,” noting his team monitors the situation closely. He added that protecting residents and visitors is a priority despite the politically charged backdrop. The approach signals a whole‑of‑government response that could shape security protocols for future marquee sporting events.
