SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KGO) -- A man dressed as Batman scolded authorities in Santa Clara at a city council meeting on Jan. 27 for their inaction in relation to the likely deployment of ICE officers at the upcoming Super Bowl.

A livestream of the meeting between the Santa Clara City Council, Santa Clara Stadium Authority and other officials, shows the moment the costumed man made his dramatic entrance while swearing several times.

The man outlined his concerns about ICE agents' possible presence in Santa Clara, given the recent killings by federal agents in Minneapolis in January.
