🦇 A real-life caped crusader stormed Santa Clara’s City Council meeting this week, demanding officials sever ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ahead of the Super Bowl showdown at Levi’s Stadium on February 8. The viral-worthy moment saw the Batman-costumed protester declare: "Gotham wouldn’t tolerate this—why should we?" during a heated public comment session.
The activist urged the city to adopt formal policies blocking ICE access to local resources and data, arguing that cooperation with federal agents undermines community trust. With global attention turning to Santa Clara for the NFL’s biggest game, critics warn the debate could spotlight tensions between law enforcement priorities and immigrant rights.
City officials have yet to respond publicly, but sources say the council is weighing the proposal as security preparations ramp up for the 2026 Super Bowl—expected to draw over 70,000 fans. Social media is already buzzing with memes comparing the showdown to ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ IRL. 🎟️⚡
