The agency emphasized its role in keeping threats out of the country, as well as detailing operational changes and interagency collaboration.
On February 9, 2026, CBP stated, "Anywhere we work we’re keeping bad things out, whether it’s at a Super Bowl, port of entry or another national emergency event, every day is game day."
The following day, CBP addressed border security measures: "Historic security did not happen by accident, it's a result of the comprehensive approach to border security.

In another post on February 10, 2026, CBP referenced coordination with other federal agencies: "Due to the collaboration across all federal departments, the resultant record low encounters, CBP has been able to surge resources to support ICE's targeted enforcement operations across the country." @CBPCommissioner on CBP's ability to support our partners at ICE in removing"
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is responsible for securing U.S. borders at ports of entry and supporting law enforcement during major events such as the Super Bowl or other emergencies. The agency works closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of its broader mandate to enforce immigration laws and remove individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States.
