As Super Bowl Nears, ICE Anxiety in the Bay

Sat Feb 07 2026

Listen

As tens of thousands of visitors arrive in the Bay Area for the Super Bowl, some of the excitement is being tempered by concerns over immigration enforcement, despite federal officials and the National Football League insisting there are no planned operations. Marisa and Guy are joined by The New York Times reporter Sheera Frenkel to examine the role the Department of Homeland Security will play during the event and how local leaders and businesses are preparing. Then, they turn to the California governor's race, breaking down the latest developments including the first televised debate and newly released campaign finance reports.
