""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.""
""Obviously, ICE does not conduct immigration enforcement operations in foreign countries," McLaughlin said. "At the Olympics, ICE's Homeland Security Investigations is supporting the U.S. Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service and host nation to vet and mitigate risks from transnational criminal organizations. All security operations remain under Italian authority.""
""ICE will not operate on Italian territory.""
A growing number of Italian politicians oppose U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents assisting security at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Milan's mayor described ICE as a violent militia and said ICE agents are not welcome in Milan. U.S. Homeland Security agencies have provided assistance at past Olympic Games. Department of Homeland Security officials state that ICE's Homeland Security Investigations will support vetting and mitigating risks from transnational criminal organizations and that ICE does not conduct immigration enforcement abroad. Italy's interior minister said specific U.S. personnel are unclear but affirmed ICE will not operate on Italian territory.
