ICE Agents Are at the Winter Olympics, Whether Italy Wants Them or Not

[Narrator] ICE agents are at the Winter Olympics,

whether Italy wants them or not.

Ahead of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics,

authorities in Italy are trying

to dampen public outcry over reports that US Immigration

and Customs Enforcement will be present at the games

just as its agents so chaos and violence

and debts in the us.

The US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed

that ICE would accompany a US delegation

to the Winter Olympics,

working as part of a State Department team

to mitigate risks from transnational criminal organizations.

US officials claim such security measures are common

for the games and stressed ICE would not be involved

in immigration enforcement

and that Italian authorities would still be in

charge of security.

But even if this means ICE agents and suits

and ties in control rooms rather than masks

and tactical gear on the streets,

Italians still aren't thrilled by the idea.

Milan's Mayor, Giuseppe Sala has told local radio

that agents are not welcome.

While over the weekend, hundreds gathered in Central Milan

to protest, so that's why.
