Local Italian leaders are furious about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents coming to the Winter Olympics in Milan next month. The backlash has created serious diplomatic problems between the two countries. Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala made it clear that authorities don’t need ICE agents for Olympic security.
According to CNN, he said they’re not welcome in Milan and called the agency “a militia that kills.” Sala questioned whether Italy could say no to President Trump, but he believes the agents shouldn’t come because they don’t match Italy’s democratic security methods.
