A growing number of Italian politicians are pushing back against a plan for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to help provide security at the Milan Winter Olympics. <\/p>\n

U.S. Homeland Security officials have provided assistance at past Olympic Games, but critics including Milan’s mayor say after the violence in Minneapolis<\/a>, ICE agents are no longer welcome.<\/p>\n

“This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips,” Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala<\/a> told local media. “It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt.”<\/p>\n
