Summary
- Staffer threatened to call ICE on Latino concertgoers.

- Los Bukis made history as first Latin artists at SoFi.
A contracted employee at SoFi Stadium has been fired following an incident where she was recorded threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Latino concertgoers. The confrontation occurred during the band Los Bukis' reunion tour concerts, which marked a historic occasion as they became the first Latin artists to perform at the venue. The video captured the employee arguing with attendees before making the ICE remark and walking away.
Witnesses reported the employee's threat to a supervisor, who stated he could not control her actions but would speak with her. In response to the incident, a spokesperson for Hollywood Park, the operator of SoFi Stadium, confirmed that the third-party contractor's employee is no longer working at the complex, emphasizing zero tolerance for such behavior.
Los Bukis concluded their reunion tour with two shows at SoFi Stadium, capping a global tour that began in 2021. The band, formed in Mexico in 1973, had a significant impact on Latin music before disbanding and reuniting in 2021. They were also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, dedicated to U.S. immigrants.
