ICE agents will be patrolling San Francisco during the Super Bowl in February, whether halftime performer Bad Bunny likes it or not.

Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski confirmed that the agents will have a presence at America's biggest event after the 31-year-old pop star snubbed the US during his tour over fears ICE would target fans outside his shows.

'It's so shameful they picked someone who seems to hate America,' Lewandowski said. 

'There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and no where else. We will find and deport you. That is a very real situation.' 

Bad Bunny addressed his decision to make a sole mainland US appearance just moments before the NFL revealed he was playing the Super Bowl.

'I've been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I'll do just one date in the United States,' the musician tweeted in Spanish.

MAGA world erupted after the Puerto Rican artist was named for the highly-coveted gig.

Conservative podcaster Benny Johnson called Bad Bunny a 'massive Trump hater' and 'anti-ICE activist,' and criticized him for not singing in English. 

Bad Bunny - real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio - spoke to Variety about the reason he didn't schedule any mainland US tour dates. 

He cited the lengthy residency in Puerto Rico - a US territory - and the Trump Administration's increasing use of ICE agents as reasons why he wouldn't perform.

'Man, honestly, yes,' he replied. 'There were many reasons why I didn't show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate —I've performed there many times. 

'All of (the shows) have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I've enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S.

'But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the US… People from the US could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. 

'But there was the issue of — like, f*****g ICE could be outside (my concert). And it's something that we were talking about and very concerned about.'
