NEW ORLEANS -- A performer in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show was detained on the field and could face charges after unfurling a combination Sudan-Palestine flag with "Sudan" and "Gaza" written on it.
The NFL confirmed the person was part of the 400-member field cast. The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement that "law enforcement is working to determine applicable charges in this incident."
The performer stood on a car used as a prop for Lamar's performance and held up the flag.
"The individual hid the item on his person and unveiled it late in the show," the NFL said.
