Super Bowl LX will be played between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, but all eyes will be on the performers who have spoken out against the Trump administration.

Bad Bunny, Green Day and Brandi Carlile are all set to have a performance in Santa Clara, California, either before the game begins or during its halftime show. The halftime headliner, Bad Bunny, has been very outspoken about how the Trump administration has used U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to root out illegal immigrants.

The Puerto Rican music artist had been outspoken last year as federal agents operated in Los Angeles. He revealed in September he was postponing U.S. tour dates because of it.

In an interview with i-D, the artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, confirmed that one of the main reasons behind the absence of U.S. dates on his “Debi Tirar Mas Fotos World Tour” was so there was no risk his fans could be picked up by ICE agents.

“But there was the issue of — like, f—ing ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” he told the outlet, expressing concerns over President Donald Trump’s second-term deportation agenda.

The artist has been outspoken about ICE in the past. While visiting Puerto Rico in June, Ocasio recorded and posted video of what he described as local ICE raids to social media.

“Look, those motherf——s are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela,” he said in Spanish, mentioning ICE working on the Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina, a city east of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan.

“Sons of b——, instead of leaving the people alone and working there,” he added.

More backlash ensued in October when he was named the Super Bowl LX halftime show performer. He told Americans would have four months to learn English if they wanted to move and groove to his songs.

Bad Bunny was given the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and he continued to be outspoken against ICE.

“ICE out,” he said. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens — we are humans, and we are Americans.”

He didn’t mention any of the controversies that have clouded him ahead of the Super Bowl LX during his interview with Apple.

Green Day

Green Day will be a part of an on-field performance just before the coin toss as the NFL honors Super Bowl MVPs of the past ahead of the 60th game in its history. The NFL said Green Day will “usher Super Bowl MVPs onto the field with a dynamic performance celebrating the legacy and evolution of the championship game.”

Green Day has been notoriously outspoken against President Donald Trump since the start of his first term. The band had only upped the ante on his administration since he got back into office in January 2025.

The punk rock band took a swipe at Vice President JD Vance last March. While playing “Jesus of Suburbia” in Melbourne, Australia, at the time, the band changed the words to suggest that Vance was “retarded.”

“Am I retarded or am I just JD Vance?” lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong sang instead of the original lyrics, “Am I retarded or just overjoyed?”

Following the overturning of Roe V. Wade in 2022, Armstrong told a crowd during a London concert that he would be renouncing his U.S. citizenship and moving there.

“F— America, I’m f—ing renouncing my citizenship,” Armstrong said. “I’m f—ing coming here.”

“There’s just too much f—ing stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f—ing excuse for a country,” Armstrong added. “Oh, I’m not kidding. You’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days.”

He also called the Supreme Court Justices “pricks” and said, “f— the Supreme Court of America.”

During a performance on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” last year, the band changed the lyrics to their 2004 hit “American Idiot,” with Armstrong singing, “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda,” instead of the original, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda.”

The band has also been outspoken against ICE. The band slammed the agency at a concert last month.

“We stand up for our brothers and sisters in Minnesota,” Armstrong said, and later took a swipe at White House advisor Stephen Miller.

Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile will be among the performers who will sing before the Super Bowl. She’s tapped to perform “America the Beautiful” while Coco Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” otherwise known as the Black national anthem, and Charlie Puth will perform “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Carlile started to speak out against Trump after he won the 2016 election. She told KUOW Radio in December 2016 that she was “upset” with Trump voters and “concerned” as to why they were voting for Trump.

Since then, Carlile has made her disdain for Trump clear. She wrote a song called “Church & State” which took aim at the administration. Carlile joined Elton John to help offset cuts to HIV/AIDS funding made by the White House in the early days of Trump’s second term.

Carlile joined Don Lemon on the Grammys red carpet after he was arrested for his alleged involvement in a protest in Minnesota that saw activists storm a church in January.

While she hasn’t spoken out against Trump ahead of the Super Bowl just yet, she said in an interview with Apple Music she hoped that those listening to her performance on Sunday will interpret “America the Beautiful” as a prayer rather than a song.

Immigrant groups have a message for their mostly White allies: Quit blowing the whistle on ICE. 

Fox News Digital has reviewed days of messages inside Signal chat rooms that reveal that a new internal feud has erupted inside the anti-ICE protest industry, pitting immigrant-led organizations against predominately White “rapid response” networks that have made whistle-blowing a dramatic part of anti-ICE protests.

In one dismissal, a “rapid responder” in Seattle reported back that “immigrant networks are being weird.”

Groups from Seattle to Montgomery County, Md., are telling mostly White “rapid responders” to back off a dynamic described by activists as “White Savior,” reminding them they are not cameo actors in an “action movie” against ICE.

This past weekend, the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network — known locally as “WAISN,” a Seattle-based, immigrant-led organization, publicly rebuked the practice of whistles, setting off a backlash inside mostly White liberal activist “rapid response” circles.

“WHY WAISN RAPID RESPONSE DOES NOT USE WHISTLES,” the group wrote in an Instagram post, emphasizing, “We show up with care and accountability, not noise or panic.”

“It is not about being the loudest, the bravest, or the most visible person on the scene or confronting immigration agents. It is a commitment to non-violence, discipline and harm reduction, centering the well-being of the most vulnerable immigrant and refugee committees in Washington,” the post continued.

The message amounted to a blunt directive: Put away the whistles.

Fox News Digital reviewed internal Signal chat messages from Seattle-area rapid response groups showing that the rejection of whistles triggered open hostility.

“We believe in whistles, people want whistles. Nothing change [sic] no matter what WAISN says,” one participant wrote in a group called “WA Whistles.”

The dispute escalated when Snohomish County Indivisible in Washington state told followers this week it would follow the guidance and “pause distribution of whistle kits.” The local group is a chapter of the powerful national nonprofit, Indivisible, which has received $7.26 million from 2018 through 2023 from billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundations,  which is aligned with the Democratic Party. 

In a striking admission, the Indivisible chapter warned against activists positioning themselves as rescuers, falling into a “‘White Savior’ dynamic.” It added bold-faced type to get its point across.

“The use of whistles is complex, and we recognize this decision may be disappointing,” the Indivisible chapter said. “It is essential that we avoid falling into a ‘White Savior’ dynamic, centering ourselves as rescuers, acting on communities rather than with them, or prioritizing feeling helpful over building real, shared power.”

For months, whistle-blowing has been a favored tactic among mostly white rapid responders in cities including Minneapolis, Chicago, New York and Seattle. Activists have used whistles to alert neighborhoods to the presence of federal immigration agents, disrupt operations and create public pressure.

In the Seattle group, a “rapid responder” dismissed the group’s concerns as “vaguely condescending,” arguing that while whistles might be “traumatizing,” they were surely “no worse than being actually kidnapped, or watching it happen in front of your house.”

Others framed the immigrant-led nonprofit as self-interested and risk-averse. One person sneered at the “immigrant rights nonprofit business,” while another complained about “careerists at nonprofits” who don’t put the “cause over their job.” 

The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network is a tax-deductible organization under 501(c)(3) of the tax code, raising $3 million in revenues in 2024, according to its latest publicly available tax filing.  Indivisible Project is a 501(c)(4) political nonprofit that raised $10.4 million in 2024, according to its latest tax filing. It has a political 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Indivisible Civics Inc., that raised $5.2 million in 2024, according to its most recent tax filing.

A separate comment derided long-term nonprofit workers as drinking the “koolaid,” labeling nonviolent, disciplined approaches as “fed coded.”

WA Whistles told Fox News Digital the group “respects” the local immigrant organization’s decision “not to use whistles in their rapid response.” It added: “Individual comments made in our chats do not reflect WA Whistles as a whole. We respect everyone’s first amendment right to express themselves.”

Some activists, who referred to themselves as “print dwarves” for producing whistles on 3-D printers, said they would remove the group’s contact number from their materials. Only a few participants pushed back to the criticism, one saying she was “very uncomfortable” with the “derogatory remarks” directed at the immigrant organization.

Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, for its part, was explicit about the stakes. In Washington state, the group said, whistle tactics have “increased fear, drawn unwanted attention, and interfered with rapid response efforts.” It didn’t respond to a request for comment.

“We are committed to taking direction from organizations with the longevity, trust and expertise in this work—experience we simply do not have, nor would we presume to know better,” the statement said.

The controversy also exposes ideological fault lines. Since last summer, groups including the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Democratic Socialists of America have promoted whistles as part of a broader confrontation with U.S. law enforcement. They have borrowed from whistle-blowing tactics used by socialist and communist labor union groups in Europe.

The People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation are funded by an American-born tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai and supports groups that have made it their business to foment mayhem and protests in the United States, with a pro-China agenda.

In one post, the Party for Socialism and Liberation declared, “Hear a whistle? That just might be ICE!” The Seattle whistle group uses templates that the People’s Forum distributes through a group, “ICE Out of New York.”

The Washington state group echoed a warning from immigrant-led groups in Maryland who issued an anti-whistle edict last month, pointedly speaking to “white allies” who they reminded weren’t playing cameo roles in an “action movie,” with their whistles as weapons of power and authority.

In an Instagram post, the Montgomery County Immigrant Rights Collective published an anti-whistle message – “WHY WE DON’T USE WHISTLES IN RAPID RESPONSE – with other local immigrant-led groups, including the Central Maryland Immigrant Rights Collective, the Prince George’s County Immigrant Rights Collective, the “Immigration Coalition,” “Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid” and “UndocuRebels.” The groups didn’t return a request for comment.

“Especially for white allies,” they wrote, “whistles can represent a subconscious desire for authority, protection or control in moments of crisis, but rapid response is not about assuming authority. It is about showing up for your community with discipline, humility, and restraint when we question decisions made by those impacted, we risk centering our own comfort instead of impacted people.”

They noted, “Loudness does not equal effectiveness.”

“START WITH REALITY (NOT HEROICS),” they wrote, with the soundtrack of a popular protest song, “Que me devuelvan la tierra,” which means “Give me back my land.”

They wrote, “This is not an action movie. You are not in a one-on-one fight with ICE.”

Adding bold emphasis, they noted, “And you are not the center of this situation.”

They noted that its anti-whistle position was shaped by speaking to “120+ community members” with families who have “lived through ICE, detention, surveillance and state violence.” After consulting community members, the conclusion was unanimous: do not use whistles.

The Maryland coalition warned that whistles can “escalate already volatile ICE agents,” “make it harder to document and capture information,” “increase the likelihood of aggression toward bystanders or the detained person” and “create confusion” for community members and children.

They also pointed to disproportionate impacts on “Black and Brown communities” that are already “overexposed to chronic noise pollution,” which they linked to PTSD, anxiety, sleep disruption and heart disease.

Perhaps most pointedly, the group rejected the symbolism itself. Whistles, it said, are historically associated with military and police operations, including “repression, raids and disappearances,” especially in developing countries.

“They were not tools used by communities under oppression, they were tools used against them,” they said, emphasizing their point in bold.

In the new clash between immigrant-led groups and mostly white activist allies, immigrant leaders warned that the tactics meant to signal solidarity can just as easily reproduce the sounds of “state power.”

But in the trenches, the mostly White “allies” continued diminishing the guidance, saying they were going to continue, business as usual, blowing their whistles.

By mid-week, WA Whistles made its stubborn position public, posting a message on its Instagram, saying, “WHISTLES WORK.”

“They are a call to courage and a decision to care out loud,” it declared, laying claim to the moral high ground.

One user then asked for “more bright-colored whistles that can work around the neck as a symbol of resistance that everyone can see as they go about their day.”

Peter Mandelson committed a “betrayal of his country” by allegedly leaking government secrets to Jeffrey Epstein and putting Britain “at risk”, former prime minister Gordon Brown has said.

Lord Mandelson, his ex-business secretary, has been accused of sharing market-sensitive information with the US sex offender after the 2008 global financial crisis.

Mr Brown said: “All of the information he passed on… the papers by other advisers were commercially sensitive; this was financially secret information.

“It meant that Britain was at risk because of that, the currency was at risk, some of the trading that would happen would be speculative as a result of that.

“There’s no doubt that huge commercial damage could have been done and perhaps was done.”

Lord Mandelson has in the past denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. He has said he regrets maintaining a relationship with him and apologised to the sex offender’s victims.

It comes as police investigating claims of misconduct in a public office by Lord Mandelson have concluded their searches of two of his properties – in Camden, north London, and in Wiltshire.

The Metropolitan Police said the criminal investigation is “complex” and will require a “significant amount of further evidence gathering and analysis”.

Mr Brown spoke after emails released as part of the Epstein files revealed the correspondence between Lord Mandelson and the paedophile financier.

In the messages, the peer appears to brief Epstein on internal discussions at the heart of UK government, including giving him advance notice of a €500bn EU bank bailout in 2010.

He also told him he was “trying hard” to change government policy on bankers’ bonuses.

Then-chancellor Alistair Darling announced a 50% “super tax” on bonuses in December 2009, in a bid to prevent pay being inflated by taxpayer-funded bailouts.

The documents further suggest that Epstein sent money to Lord Mandelson and his partner, Reinaldo Avila da Silva.

Lord Mandelson twice resigned from government amid controversy under Tony Blair, before Mr Brown brought him back into the cabinet.

“I made mistakes, I regret it, it shouldn’t have happened,” Mr Brown said.

He said he and his colleagues had been betrayed by Lord Mandelson.

But, he added, “the biggest betrayal was of the women and girls that were trafficked, that were exploited, that were treated as less than human”.

Asked how he felt about his former colleague’s behaviour, he said: “shocked, sad, angry, betrayed, let down”.

He said Sir Keir Starmer had likewise made a mistake by appointing Lord Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the US last year.

“Keir Starmer was misled and he was betrayed,” Mr Brown said.

“He has clearly said it was the wrong decision, and it was the wrong decision. Just as I made a mistake, he made a mistake.”

But the ex-prime minister also hailed the current one as a man of “integrity”.

And he blamed a “systemic failure” in vetting for Lord Mandelson’s appointment.

“Mandelson of course did appear… to have an unblemished record as the trade commissioner for four years,” he said.

“Nobody had ever heard of Epstein in the government, and nobody knew of any friendship between Epstein and Mandelson at that time.”
