- San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says federal immigration enforcement will not increase ahead of the Super Bowl.
- Federal agents will be present to support public safety, but the city will not coordinate with ICE.
- Supervisor Jackie Fielder urges residents to know their rights and save the Rapid Response Network number: 415-200-1548.
H2: Lurie reassures immigrants before Super Bowl weekend
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie on Monday moved to calm immigrant communities worried about federal immigration enforcement ahead of the Super Bowl in the Bay Area. Lurie said city officials have “heard nothing that suggests that there will be any increase in immigration enforcement from the federal authorities.”
He acknowledged that more federal agents will be in the region to support public safety around the game, but stressed those personnel are not expected to conduct increased immigration actions beyond what typically accompanies major events.
H3: City will not coordinate with federal immigration enforcement
Lurie said the city will work with local and federal law enforcement to coordinate a public safety operation, but emphasized there will be no coordination with federal immigration enforcement. “We will continue to uphold San Francisco’s longstanding policies that keep local law enforcement focused on keeping our city safe, not on federal immigration enforcement,” he said.
The mayor encouraged immigrants to report crimes, seek medical care and use city services without fear. “They should feel free to report a crime. They should feel free to come to the hospital and get services,” Lurie said.
H3: Local leaders and rights reminders
Not all city leaders were fully reassured. Supervisor Jackie Fielder said rapid response networks are preparing for a potential increase in calls and urged constituents to refresh their knowledge of civil rights: the right to film, the right to remain silent, and the right to ask for a lawyer.
Fielder pointed to previous comments from national officials that have heightened concerns about unpredictable enforcement. She recommended residents save the San Francisco Rapid Response Network number, 415-200-1548, in case of immigration enforcement incidents.
H4: Context and what to expect at venues across the city
The Super Bowl will take place in Santa Clara, but public safety operations and the city’s sanctuary-style policies apply across San Francisco venues, including conference and event spaces such as the Moscone Center. City officials say they intend to maintain those policies during the event period.

The message from City Hall is clear: heightened visible federal presence for public-safety purposes may occur, but San Francisco’s policies aim to prevent increased immigration enforcement and keep local law enforcement focused on community safety.
