    Default Turmoil in Italy: US ICE will be at 2026 Winter Olympics

    USA TODAY

    ICE agents who are part of Homeland Security Investigations will have a small security support role for the upcoming Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy, according to a person familiar with the matter. http://bit.ly/4q07nqc

    Renew Europe

    It is not acceptable that US ICE agents will be at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.

    In Europe, we do not want people who ignore human rights and avoid democratic control.

    Our union, our values, our rules!

    Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala reveals that ICE agents are not welcome in his city during the Winter Olympics:

    “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt.”

    🚨⚡️Italian politicians from center-left parties staged a protest at the Lombardy regional council. The reason was rumors that American ICE agents may be involved in security at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan.

    "This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt."

    ICE agents will have a "security role" during the upcoming Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Rome's U.S. embassy says.

    Giovanni Malago, President of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics organising committee, says ICE agents will be present in Italy “for technical reasons only” during the Winter Olympics because high-ranking US officials are in the country.

    The Left in the European Parliament

    🚨 Following the murder of protesters and widespread arbitrary detentions in the USA, ICE cannot be allowed in Europe.

    We are calling for an immediate travel ban on all ICE agents.

    This is now urgent following reports ICE will policy the Winter Olympics in Italy 🚨

    Despite being a domestic agency, ICE has managed to cause an international incident.

    Its plan to send agents to the Winter Olympics is drawing outrage in Italy, with the mayor of Milan warning against allowing the “militia that kills” into their country.

    Their case isn’t helped by new footage this week showing ICE threatening Italian journalists: “we will break your window and we will pull you out of the vehicle.”

    https://x.com/wyattreed13/status/2016190473648357748




    Translated from Spanish
    It looks like footage from a war zone...

    ICE agents threaten Italian team from the RAI's #InMezzora investigative journalism program, who were reporting on the situation in Minneapolis.

    ICE: "We're going to smash your window and pull you out of the vehicle."

    Massive street battle tonight in Milan against the Olympic Games of Shame, where "Israel" was invited as a guest, and Trump’s Gestapo, ICE, also showed up to accompany the U.S. Olympic delegation.

    Protesters massively used fireworks and clashed with the repression of fascist Meloni’s regime.

    🇮🇹 In Milan, anti-Olympics protesters fired fireworks at police.

    Police responded with water cannons.

    Some protested deforestation for Olympic venues; others opposed presence of US ICE agents.
