Milan mayor says ICE security is 'not welcome' at Winter Olympics

The mayor of Milan, Italy, has said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is "not welcome" at the Winter Olympics early next month after reports confirmed the U.S. agency will provide extra security at the games.

Upon learning the news, Mayor Giuseppe Sala criticized ICE over its role in two fatal shootings in Minnesota this month.

"This is a militia that kills," he said in an Italian radio interview. "It's clear that they are not welcome in Milan. There's no doubt about it. Can't we just say no to Trump for once?"

The ICE-linked security team will support diplomatic security details in Milan without carrying out any immigration enforcement operations, according to the Associated Press. ICE confirmed its participation in the security detail.
