Summary
Italian politicians and citizens are expressing outrage over the planned deployment of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to assist with security at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy. The controversy stems from concerns about ICE's controversial immigration enforcement practices, particularly following two fatal shootings during immigration crackdowns in Minneapolis. Former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and other lawmakers are urging current Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to block ICE's presence at the Olympics, while US officials defend the deployment as standard practice for previous Olympic events.
