Hundreds of protesters, primarily students, rallied in Milan on Friday ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony to protest the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The demonstration was triggered by reports that ICE officials were providing security for the U.S. delegation. Protesters expressed outrage over ICE's role in President Trump's deportation policies, citing violence and arrests in the U.S. They carried banners and used whistles, symbols of anti-ICE rallies, and called for the departure of visiting U.S. officials. While Italy's Interior Minister assured that ICE agents would only operate within U.S. diplomatic missions, protesters remained unconvinced and voiced their opposition to U.S. immigration policies.
