'Batman' Slams Bay Area City Council Over ICE At Super Bowl

SANTA CLARA, CA — A man dressed as Batman publicly criticized Santa Clara's City Council at a meeting on Tuesday, accusing them of not doing more to condemn Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who will be at the event.

Walking up to the podium, Batman, his cape following close behind, slammed his fist on the lectern and yelled, "What the (expletive) are we doing here!"

"Seriously, you have had months to prepare for this upcoming event," Batman said. "But you can still make it up and make every single policy on this sheet of paper here happen right now, happen before the Super Bowl, happen before potentially hundreds of masked men come into our city and kill people."

The Super Bowl is slated for Sunday, Feb. 8, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, bringing hundreds of thousands of football fans to the Bay Area.

ICE agents are expected at the event, causing concerns from Bay Area communities, not only about immigration enforcement, but also about the recent killings in cities such as Minneapolis.

"People are dying on our streets every single day in this country because we allow this federal government to walk all over you," Batman said during the meeting. " I am disgusted at each and every one of you, with the exception of councilmember (Kevin) Park, that you have not done something more. You need to affirm that no city resources will go to ICE, that no cooperation will be given to them."

Bay Area officials have been trying to reduce those fears tied to the Super Bowl, reaffirming that no more federal agents will be expected than what is standard for such a massive sporting event, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

“We’re going to keep monitoring the situation, but we have no belief that there is anything different than what happens around a Tier 1 event of this magnitude from the federal law enforcement,” Lurie told the Chronicle.
