The upcoming Super Bowl halftime show will feature Bad Bunny, marking the first time a Latin solo artist will headline the event, according to Time. The performance comes after the Grammy Awards, where several celebrities, including Bad Bunny, criticized former President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, an immigrant, Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, says he was brutally beaten by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an arrest in January, as reported by NPR News.
The selection of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show was backed by National Football League (NFL) commissioner Roger Goodell, who stated that the artist is "one of the great artists in the world," according to Time. Goodell also noted that Bad Bunny understands the platform he is on. The performance is highly anticipated, especially given the recent Grammy Awards ceremony where political statements were made.
In other news, Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, who was detained by ICE, claims the beating he endured left him with a fractured skull and memory loss, according to NPR News. He struggled to remember his daughter and cherished memories after the incident on January 8.
