""It's not as if the SS are arriving.""
Hundreds of people gathered in Milan to protest the presence of ICE agents sent to support security operations at the Winter Olympics. Protesters demanded that the incoming ICE agents leave the country. Italy's foreign minister said the incoming agents were different from those on the ground in Minneapolis and defended their deployment. The minister made the remarks while visiting a Holocaust memorial, stating, "It's not as if the SS are arriving." The deployment prompted local criticism and public demonstrations. Authorities characterized the mission as supportive security assistance rather than law-enforcement takeover. The protests drew attention to immigration enforcement and international cooperation.
