ICE agents are set to have a security role during the upcoming Winter Olympics Games in Italy, prompting an uproar.

On Tuesday, Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said that ICE agents were “not welcome.”

“This is a militia that kills … It’s clear that they are not welcome in Milan, there’s no doubt about it. Can’t we just say no to Trump for once?” the mayor said in an interview with Italy’s RTL 102.5 radio.

    Embassy security is provided by the Diplomatic Security Service, a separate agency that operates under the State Department, not Homeland Security.

      Indeed but there is probably nothing that says other agencies can’t be involved (hello convenient loopholes the administration loves how you doing)
