旧金山,2月3日(路透社) – 美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)和联邦执法官员周二表示,周日超级碗比赛及其相关活动期间,美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)不会开展任何移民执法行动。
“超级碗或任何与超级碗相关的活动期间,不会有计划中的ICE或移民执法行动。”NFL安全主管凯西·拉尼尔在旧金山的新闻发布会上证实了路透社此前的报道。

在周日西雅图海鹰队对阵新英格兰爱国者队的比赛前夕,有关移民执法行动的担忧有所升级。
协调各机构安全工作的国土安全部特工杰弗里·布兰尼根表示,联邦执法部门的严格目标是支持超级碗的安全保障。
布兰尼根称,未来几天该地区的联邦执法力量将大幅增加,直接支持超级碗的安全工作。
拉尼尔说,国土安全部将派遣多个不同部门参与超级碗安保,但不包括ICE。她补充说,过去一周她已与国土安全部领导层会面,并确信不会有ICE的执法行动。
“超级碗现场没有部署ICE人员,过去几次超级碗也没有。”拉尼尔表示。
拉尼尔称,超级碗LIX(第59届)的安保规划大约在18个月前启动,涉及35个联邦、州和地方机构。
官员预计将有约130万游客参加超级碗及其周边活动。
拉尼尔表示,NFL和参与超级碗安保的各执法机构计划使用人工智能辅助安保工作。但她拒绝透露这项新兴技术的具体部署细节。
“我们使用的技术中,几乎没有不含人工智能元素的。”她说。
上月明尼苏达州两名美国公民被联邦特工枪杀后,唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民执法政策受到审视,引发全美抗议。
今年超级碗中场秀的明星是波多黎各说唱歌手、2026年格莱美奖得主巴迪·布尼(Bad Bunny)。他在最近的巡演中跳过了美国本土演出,称担心联邦特工逮捕他的粉丝。

No plans for ICE immigration operations at Super Bowl, officials say
By Max A. Cherney
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 3 (Reuters) – National Football League and federal law enforcement officials said on Tuesday there were no planned Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations for Sunday’s Super Bowl or the events leading up to it.
“There are no planned ICE or immigration enforcement operations that are scheduled around the Super Bowl or any of the Super Bowl-related events,” NFL head of security Cathy Lanier said at a press conference in San Francisco, confirming an earlier Reuters report.

Concerns about the potential for immigration enforcement operations had escalated ahead of Sunday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
Department of Homeland Security agent Jeffrey Brannigan, who is coordinating security efforts among the different agencies, said federal law enforcement had a strict and specific purpose to support Super Bowl security.
Brannigan said in the days ahead there would be a significant increase in federal law enforcement across the region that would work directly to support security at the Super Bowl.
DHS will send a variety of different agencies to the Super Bowl that do not include ICE, Lanier said, adding that she had met with DHS leadership over the last week and was confident there would be no ICE operations.
“There is not ICE deployed with us at the Super Bowl and I don’t believe there has been in the last several,” Lanier said.
Planning for Super Bowl LX security began roughly 18 months ago and involves 35 federal, state and local agencies, Lanier said.
Officials expect about 1.3 million visitors for the Super Bowl and events surrounding it.
The NFL and various law enforcement agencies involved in Super Bowl security plan to use artificial intelligence to aid their efforts, Lanier said. Lanier declined to provide details about how the emerging technology would be deployed.
“There are very few technologies that we use that don’t have some element of AI,” she said.
President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies have come under scrutiny after the killing of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota last month by federal agents, sparking protests across the U.S.
The star of this year’s Super Bowl halftime show will be Puerto Rican rapper and 2026 Grammy winner Bad Bunny , who skipped performing in the continental United States on his recent concert tour, saying he feared federal agents would arrest his fans.
