ICE and Super Bowl 52
It will be the Philadelphia Eagles versus the New England Patriots in the National Football League’s Super Bowl 52. And Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be there too. According to the ICE website,
“As the teams prepare to battle for the right to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy as Super Bowl LII champions, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be playing its best defense to protect the millions of fans who will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the biggest sporting event of the year.
ICE has been a constant presence at the Super Bowl for many years. The agency and National Football League may seem like an odd pairing, but the two have formed an effective partnership to combat many of the threats the league and host city face leading up to and during the big game.”
Besides protecting the safety of the public in connection with Super Bowl 52, ICE will seek to halt the flow of counterfeit products:
“The illegal manufacturing and sale of counterfeit goods has been one of the primary concerns of ICE and its partners during the week leading up to the Super Bowl. The practice endangers public health, the economy and restricts the competitiveness of U.S. products in the global market.”
