Part 2/5:
The absence of US dates on this tour isn't accidental but a strategic decision rooted in concerns over US immigration enforcement practices. Bad Bunny publicly explained that he planned the tour this way to avoid potential complications with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He fears that ICE agents could exploit his concerts as opportunities to detain or round up individuals believed to be in the country illegally.
In an interview with ID magazine, the artist expressed his fears, noting that the possibility of ICE operatives waiting outside his shows was a significant concern. This stance underscores a broader tension between public figures and immigration policies, especially amid heightened enforcement measures under the current administration.
