Not everyone is happy with the Puerto Rican rapper performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, though. POTUS Donald Trump’s advisor Corey Lewandowski expressed his displeasure with the situation and said that ICE will be present at the event looking for illegal immigrants.

“There is nowhere you can provide a safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl, nowhere else. We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility and we will deport you.”
