Even Batman is angry with Trump and his dark shadow ICE threatens the Super Bowl

Poison arrows fly directly at Donald Trump at the first press conference of the Super Bowl.Many people in San Francisco fear the aggressive deployment of its ICE forces.Sometimes there are crazy protests.

So far, everything is quiet in the city.In San Francisco and the Bay area, as the Metropolitan region is called the northern part of California province in the US.On Monday, many employees will gather the final details for the Super Bowl weekend with the NFL Championship game and the police - but the ICE Immigration Agency mask agents do not roam the streets.

And yet: the dark shadow of Donald Trump and his paramilitary units threatens the Super Bowl.Fear and panic spread among some fans and residentsFinally, ICE will be part of the security strategy for Sunday's finals at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, according to a U.S. government statement.

It is not yet clear what form the authority and possibly its agents will take at the site, due to conflicting information from the Trump administration.ICE has often participated in the NFL Finals.But after violent raids by ICE agents in Minnesota led to the arrests of Renee Macklin Good, Alex Pretty and the children, lingering fears about a possible ICE presence in the Bay Area grew.

Politician warns: "This is not a game"

Reports of ICE intervention in the region have been growing since last October.At the time, US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asked right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson if there would be ICE checks at the Super Bowl: "Yes, because the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for security."He added: "Only American law-abiding people who love this country should come to the Super Bowl."In the second episode of the podcast, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) adviser Corey Lewandowski reiterated the administration's plan, calling the implementation a "presidential order."

City Councilman Peter Ortiz, a San Jose city councilman outside Santa Clara, told San Jose Spotlight he saw an internal memo indicating agents would land at a military airport in the area on Friday."This is not a game, and families are particularly susceptible," Ortiz criticized."I warned the city and our community. Unfortunately, people didn't really take it seriously."

However, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen told the San Francisco Chronicle last week that they did not know ICE was part of the Super Bowl security system.

Trump threatened the National Guard in San Francisco

At the same time, the office of Gavin Newsom, Trump's adversary and the governor of California, also told SFGate.com that "we do not expect any unusual activity by ICE at the Super Bowl."In the same report, the website quoted DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin as saying the agency would not comment on whether ICE officials would be at the stadium or the Super Bowl.A sign that this is likely to happen: At a Super Bowl security strategy press conference on Tuesday (after local time) the special representative of DHS was listed in front of all local law enforcement agencies and the FBI.

California officials know they'll have to give the Trump administration some cooperation if they want to host major sporting events like the Super Bowl and World Cup this summer.But fear and violence like in Minnesota?

San Francisco is a historic bastion of American liberalism in the liberal state of California.As a city of immigrants, where you can hear at least three different languages ​​on every corner.Last spring, Trump threatened the ocean city with national troops, but then refused.Will the Bay Area's worst fears come true?

Poison arrows against Trump at press conference

The official opening ceremony of the Super Bowl on Monday sent clear poison darts at Trump, ICE and segregation with symbols of rebellion, solidarity and love.Zaileen Janmohamed, Executive Director of the Host Committee, spoke about the area representing "hope and diversity".Famous immigrant chef Dominique Crenn emphasized the importance of immigrants in this city, saying, "What I love most about San Francisco are the people. They are interesting, creative, you are strong. A city that believes in freedom. Freedom is an important word these days."

In the days and weeks before that, state and local officials in California intensified their criticism of DHS leadership.Governor Newsom joined Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff in calling for DHS Director Noam to resign.Additionally, several major US cities saw thousands of anti-ICE protests in San Francisco over the weekend, with local businesses closing their doors and students walking off school grounds.

The Bay Area is worried — and angry — about the Super Bowl.All kinds of protests are planned for this week.But no one gets loud and angry like Batman.Last Thursday, a man dressed as a superhero turned out at Santa Clara City Hall to protest the possibility of ICE agents being deployed.It's an unusual scene with a heavy backstory: He's trying to keep a "Super Bowl like Minnesota" from turning into Super Bowl violence.requested
