ICE at the Super Bowl

This ought to be interesting.

On February 9th, the Super Bowl will feature the Seattle Seahawks vs. the New England Patriots. In less than two weeks, two teams from two very liberal cities will play each other for the NFL title at one of the most left-leaning metropolises in the United States. Approximately 75,000 people will make their way to Levi Stadium in the Bay Area on Super Sunday. After the tragedies in Minnesota, I don’t think the good people of California, Washington, or Massachusetts are going to be in the mood to put up with ICE agents milling around the premises, searching for people with the wrong color of skin or accent. Yet Kristi Noem thought the Super Bowl presented a real opportunity to send her crackpot team of Proud Boys on a people-hunting safari.

The first problem Homeland Security has is that people no longer take ICE agents seriously. Since most of the recruits look like they couldn’t run a mile in under 15 minutes if their life depended on it, have no training in police work, and give off a strong vibe of societal dropouts, they are seen as the equivalent of Mall Cops in fake Army garb.

My guess is that if ICE starts hassling ticket holders for no apparent reason, they will be met with serious resistance and seriously outnumbered. GTFOH!

I don’t see this ending well for ICE. It’s kind of like throwing a party and then the Pharaohs decide to show up to crash it, only you have 75,000 people on your side.
