The Department of Homeland Security’s reported reversal comes at a time when more than half of Americans, responding to a Fox News poll, believe ICE is ‘too aggressive’ in its immigration enforcement actions

Immigration and Customs Enforcement appears to be backing off its threat to patrol the Super Bowl later this year.

Unnamed sources speaking to TMZ reportedly told the outlet that the Department of Homeland Security will not be sending federal agents to conduct immigration operations at Super Bowl LX, which will take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8.

The DHS reportedly also said that ICE will not be present at any NFL-sponsored events across the city around the time of the Super Bowl.

The move, if true, is a stark reversal from its previous messaging, which insisted that there would be ICE agents present at the game.
