The International Olympic Committee was forced to ask fans not to boo the U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio during Friday’s opening ceremony for the Milano Cortina Winter Games.
The Department of Homeland Security sparked an international outcry last week when it confirmed that members of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations unit would help provide security for the Games.
Italians have been shocked by images of ICE and Border Patrol agents pepper-spraying protesters, breaking into people’s homes, arresting children, and shooting and killing U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, sparking protests, petitions, and demands from opposition lawmakers that Trump’s “thugs” be denied entry to Italy.
