Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara will host this year's Super Bowl halftime show, generating concern among immigrants because the role of federal immigration agents during the event remains unclear. San José has more than 40% foreign-born residents, a higher percentage than San Francisco and New York City, and the region includes thousands of Asian and Latino families.
