While sharing the stats for a different game, Hahn said: "Amongst all the illegal aliens down in El Paso, it's UCLA 14 and Pittsburgh 6. That's with 11:15 to go in the second quarter."
Learfield Communications, the company that employs Hahn and is the rightsholder to NC State broadcasts, disciplined Hahn on Friday, per the News & Observer.

"Learfield has suspended Wolfpack Sports Network play-by-play announcer Gary Hahn from his agreement indefinitely following comments made during today's Duke's Mayo Bowl radio broadcast," Wolfpack Sports Properties general manager Kyle Winchester said in a statement to the News & Observer.

Hahn did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on Saturday.

The UCLA-Pittsburgh game Hahn referenced took place at the Sun Bowl stadium in El Paso, Texas, on Friday, amid the city's surge in border crossings during last week's freezing temperatures, resulting in a citywide state of emergency, according to The Texas Tribune.

1. I hope they changed the names in official government files or his lawsuit may be complicated

I think they talked about doing that ten years ago but not sure if it ever went through.
