Perhaps a dumb question, but I’m not from the U.S, so a genuine question here: Why might the Superbowl be a way for a lot of Americans to learn about ICE?
Because they’ve announced that ICE will have a presence at the Super Bowl, and nobody can understand why. Is it really necessary to show up and harsh the buzz of everybody who is spending a fortune to have a good time? I suspect it’s in retaliation for Trump not being able to attend because they know he’ll be book mercilessly, and perhaps even be a target for assassination. So they’ll send ICE to get some airtime, and intimidate the rest of America.
There are also plans to send ICE to Italy for the Winter Olympics, which is an even weirder idea.
I would imagine the idea is to demand a contingent go to the Super Bowl and the Olympics, and then give the assignments out as rewards for the leaders and the soldiers who have been the biggest assholes.
It kind of reminds me of Gimme Shelter, the documentary about how the Rolling Stones allowed the Hells Angels to be the “security” at their big tour ending concert, and the bikers got really violent, and ended up murderering a guy right in front of the stage as the Stones were playing. I can’t wait for ICE to start beating people in front of the cameras at the Super Bowl or the Olympics. That should go over big.
Because events are when the general population actively pay attention. It’s why ads cost so much during that time.
Someone who couldn’t be bothered to watch the news is probably going to be watching sports. But they’re also probably watching it with a half dozen friends, who they can talk about it.

Obviously, ICE has far too much money.
