Italy objects to ICE presence at Winter Olympics

Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are focused on domestic issues. So it might come as a surprise to learn that a division of ICE routinely participates in international events such as the Feb. 6-22 Winter Games in Milan, Italy. Or that ICE has agents in more than 50 countries.

It’s definitely a rude surprise to Italian officials and shows that the world is watching what’s happening in Minneapolis.

“[ICE] is a militia that kills,” Giuseppe Sala, mayor of Milan said.
