United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced that its agents will assist in security operations for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, sparking outrage among Italian politicians who accuse ICE of human‑rights violations in the United States. The move comes as the U.S. prepares for heightened security at the Games in Milan, where officials from the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Embassy will be present. Italian lawmakers, including members of the Democratic Party, have called for a review of U.S. immigration enforcement practices and warned that the presence of ICE could undermine Italy’s human‑rights commitments. The announcement was made by ICE spokespersons and has been reported by outlets such as France24 and Digi24. Trump’s administration has defended the decision as a necessary measure to protect the integrity of the Olympic Games, while critics argue it represents an extension of U.S. hard‑line immigration policy abroad.
