ICE controversy continues to take over San Fran ahead of Super Bowl 60.

People in San Francisco grew upset this week after pro-ICE billboards appeared near Fisherman’s Wharf. The signs welcomed thousands of NFL fans arriving for Super Bowl events. Many locals felt the message was offensive and unnecessary.

The billboards stand at the busy corner of Jefferson and Mason streets. Tourists and football fans pass them constantly. Their placement increased tension as the city prepares for one of the biggest sports events of the year.

A group called American Sovereignty first shared photos of the billboards on social media. The group says it supports stronger border security and wants to stop human trafficking. The ads encourage support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement using football-style slogans

Everyone who saw the signs in person did not hold back their frustration. Kim from St. Louis spoke to the Daily Mail during a visit to the area. “It’s really unnecessary,” she said. “If you’re already an American, you’ve already formed your opinion about ICE and that billboard is a waste of money.” Her husband Mark added, “I get angry when I see anything about ICE.”

Another visitor reacted with similar emotion. Anastasia Ray from Phoenix said, “That seems absolutely disgusting.” Her companion, Tyler, added fears about the possible targeting of travelers. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire time people were targeted while flying in just for the event,” he said.

Community Tensions Grow Before Super Bowl

One of the billboards shows a law enforcement officer holding a trophy. The words call ICE the Defensive Player of the Year. Another sign compares a football team’s defense to immigration enforcement. A third billboard praises a new investment in border defense with an image of Trump’s wall.

Susan Holder, an American citizen originally from Peru, also criticized the message. “What ICE is doing right now, that’s completely illegal,” she said. “I’m not going to agree with that.” She expressed concern for families affected by deportations. “Too many people, hard workers, are being deported,” she added.

The Trump administration plans to increase ICE presence in the Bay Area around the Super Bowl. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem recently said, “We’ll be all over that place.” A DHS official insisted law-abiding people have nothing to fear.

Local leaders continue to push back. Santa Clara County Sheriff Bob Jonsen said his department will not assist ICE operations. “We will not be working or supporting ICE Immigration Enforcement,” he announced.

Reports say ICE agents will not work inside Levi’s Stadium on game day. However, DHS officials say they will still have strong security across the area. The difference between federal plans and local protests has increased public concern.

The Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks is only days away, and the billboards are still up. Fans continue to arrive, while arguments about immigration enforcement grow stronger across San Francisco.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
