This is about showing off the "new" America - the white supremacy/totalitarian version - it is about saying "we are not friendly anymore and we don't like you - any of you." And it is disgusting.

And, hopefully, Italy will show them what they think of that idea and that he has no power in their country. Because of him, our power in the world is fizzling out quite a bit. Probably, in the long run, the best thing for us.

We must encourage Olympic athletes to boycott the Olympics as long as ICE agents will be there. in Italy.

I'm surprised the Olympic committee hasn't already banned the US from competing.

He promised his Jan 6 insurrectionists a trip to Italy for the Olympics if they tried to take over the government for him.

We don’t need to send ICE agents to Milan for the Olympics.

For that matter, we don't need trump to go. He'll just make another ally hate us and band with the other countries to take us down on the WW3 trump's trying to start.

Besides, "it's too far"

Rubio had to have signed off on this. Keep that in mind when he runs in 2028. If we even have elections by then.

Can Italy tell them hell no? You're not coming if you bring your Gestapo?

They should certainly be able to have their own banned countries list.

Will the ICE agents be wearing masks or just Fascist armbands?

This is nothing more than an all expense paid vacation for Noem, Crash Patel, and any of the high ups that will be NEEDED to secure the illegal immigrants that are on the Olympic teams! I hope Italy dents them visas and tickets to games

What the hell gives this MAGA REGIME the right to send ICE to a foreign country, any foreign country? Italy should stand their ground and forbid it!!

Gotta wonder why. They're not well trained, so it's not because they would do a better job than Secret Service. They're probably not going to be recognized in that country as a law enforcement, at all, since, technically, they're just border patrol and they have no jurisdiction in that country. Not even sure diplomatic immunity would count. Do yourselves a favor, Italy, and ban trump from your country. US citizens are encouraging you to do so. That's pretty bad, right?

STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE

I hadn't really thought much about this since reading a news blurb about it yesterday. There's only so much one can process when the state's machine is firing on all cylinders, all the time.

I see Miller's signature all over this move to send ICE to "stand with the diplomats". Just when you think the U.S. couldn't sink any lower on the world stage, there's this.

Why does he want them? Is he planning to send them all out into the cities to snatch everyone they decide looks like someone that might be a future illegal immigrant to the US? Is his human trafficking not making him enough money already that he needs to extend it to other countries? Or is he wanting to make those countries all white? We give the Italian government permission to do whatever they feel they need to do to him and his gestapo. Or, is it that he's trying to get his Mussolini to join him? He probably thinks the leader of Italy right now is still Mussolini. His dementia riddled brain can't move past it.
