Hundreds of protesters gathered in a central square in Milan on Saturday, demanding that U.S. ICE agents assisting with security at the Winter Olympics leave Italy.
Many of the Italians who chanted and blew whistles near the grand stone arch in the Piazza XXV Aprile said they had been horrified and angered by images and videos on social media showing ICE agents operating violently in Minneapolis.
“All the videos are public and everyone can see what’s happening,” said Bruna Scanziani, age 18, who held up a sign with photographs of Renee Macklin Good and Alex Pretti, two American citizens killed by ICE agents. “The perception of America has changed.”
So american tax payer here. Why are ice agents in another country point blank period? I’m not expert on juristiction, but it sure feels like an “immigration” agency’s ends at the border
You’d be surprised how many people in Italy don’t have US citizenship.
ICE are trump’s praetorian guard, a paid trip to Europe and the Olympics on company time is a reward for loyalty shown to the executive over the people.
Pretorian Guard?
God I hope not, they’ll end up accidentally shooting everyone
They’re doing “customs” enforcement.
Call them what they are. They are American Brown Shirts. Fucking Nazis. The Pedo-in-Chief’s personal poorly trained dipshit army full of small dick energy.
Oh I have been and people aren’t happy with me. I’ve also been calling Hispanic ICE agents modern day Verband nationaldeutscher Juden whenever someone tries telling me that ICE is a diverse org and the protesters are all whities.
I mean Italy is run by a nazi, so that might get them support over there.
In the past, that kind of activity by U.S. agents has been a normal part of major international events like the Olympics.
Has it? NPR should expand on that because it seems like Trump is using ICE as a sort of pretorian guard (not actually trusting them with his life but using them as goons to look tough while the SecretSeevice do the real work)
Deport them to one of your island prisons, paisane
