During a Santa Clara City Council meeting, a man dressed as Batman urged city officials to limit assistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during the upcoming Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium. The incident occurred approximately 10 hours ago. He specifically requested the council to reaffirm that city resources would be prioritized for city needs. His concern stems from the expectation that federal officers will conduct immigration operations during the February 8th game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. He emphasized that the council had ample time to prepare for this event.
