Activists Unleash Anti-ICE Towels at the Super Bowl Amid Trump Backlash
In a bold move to draw attention to the growing controversy surrounding US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), activists distributed 15,000 rally towels with a "Bad Bunny: ICE OUT" message among fans entering Levi's Stadium for the big game. The towels, featuring a graphic by acclaimed Los Angeles illustrator Lalo Alcaraz, were part of a grassroots effort to show solidarity with Latinos and immigrants who have been brutalized by ICE raids.
Shasti Conrad, leader of the Contra-ICE group, stated that the action was an opportunity to "really be heard" in the crowd. With President Trump's threat to boycott the halftime show from performer Bad Bunny, which features Puerto Rican megastar, the organizers aimed to capitalize on the event as a platform for social commentary.
Bad Bunny had recently spoken out against ICE at the Grammy Awards, emphasizing that immigrants are essential to American society and should be celebrated. The artist also stressed the importance of love over hate in addressing injustice.
Meanwhile, Kid Rock's pre-game set with Turning Point USA attempted to rally MAGA supporters, but it was overshadowed by Green Day's anti-ICE message during their performance. Billie Joe Armstrong's lyrics urging ICE agents to quit their jobs and "come on this side of the line" were seen as a powerful statement in favor of social justice.
As the Super Bowl halftime show is one of the most-watched events in the world, activists hope that the anti-ICE message will be impossible to ignore. Shasti Conrad said that with so many cameras at the stadium, "it's going to be hard to miss." The action aims to push back against Trump's policies and provide a voice for those who feel marginalized by ICE raids.
By strategically distributing these rally towels in heavily trafficked areas of the stadium, activists are attempting to amplify their message of love and solidarity with the Latino community. As the event unfolds, it remains to be seen whether this cultural jamming protest will achieve its goals.

so these activists are like totally passionate about takin down ICE and it's kinda cool to see people comin together for a good cause! i mean, Bad Bunny speakin out against ICE at the Grammy Awards was a major moment and now this Super Bowl stunt is just the icing on the cake 
. I'm all about that love over hate vibe, especially when it comes to fightin for social justice 
. And can we talk about Billie Joe Armstrong's lyrics? 
"come on this side of the line" is like, totally fire 
. I'm keepin an eye on this situation and if anyone else is feelin inspired to take action, let's do it 
.
they're a symbol of resistance against Trump's policies and the harm he's causing to our communities 
ICE is literally ruining lives and families, and it's time people spoke out 
Bad Bunny's message about love over hate is so powerful 
and seeing Green Day's performance was like a punch in the face (in the best way possible 
) Billie Joe Armstrong is a hero for speaking truth to power 
it's not just about love though its also about acknowledging the struggles that these people face every day 
Can you even? So now we've got anti-ICE towels at the Super Bowl, because what's a little controversy without some awkward halftime performances 
? I'm no expert, but if Bad Bunny's message about love over hate resonates with 100 million viewers, maybe we can finally get some progress on ICE reform 
It's all about using your voice (or in this case, your rally towel) to make a statement. And let's be real, Bad Bunny is a total boss for speaking out against ICE and advocating for love over hate 
Billie Joe's lyrics were 
I think this is a sick move by the activist crew 
! They're not just talking about it, they're doing something about it - literally giving out free towels with a message that's all about love and unity 
. It's like, we get it, Trump's policies are whack, but instead of just complaining online, they're taking action and making their voices heard in the most visible way possible 
. And who knows, maybe some people will actually listen to Bad Bunny's message 
or feel inspired by Billie Joe Armstrong's lyrics
