Cathy Lanier, head of security for the National Football League (NFL), stated that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) has no immigration operations planned for Super Bowl LX.
“There are no planned ICE or immigration enforcement operations scheduled around the Super Bowl, that includes all Super Bowl-related events during the week. ICE is not assigned as part of our security team,” said the head of security for the American football league.
Lanier spoke at the press conference that the NFL organizes year after year to share the security procedures that will be carried out during the events and Super Bowl LX, between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, next Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
«We have a great relationship with federal partners, we have been working for this week for 18 months. I am confident that it is a strong relationship and that safety prevails, I am sure that our joint plans are to take care of every detail of Super Bowl LX,” Lanier confided.
The NFL executive stressed that as in previous editions, the level of security around the Super Bowl is the one that applies to large events.
«As in previous years, we have the support of more than 35 federal, state and local agencies. All of these agencies are here to ensure the safety of the Super Bowl and the surrounding community while all activities surrounding the event take place,” he explained.
Lanier was confident that with all this support, which is on par with a World Cup or an Olympic tournament, the NFL title game will be a success in terms of security.
«It will be similar to what can be seen in the World Cup or the Olympic Games. There are intelligence groups monitoring and there is no threat that we see as real or credible; so we are ready,” he concluded.
