    Such a bad look on Italy. They should be clearly saying “no” to US ICE and all US military/terrorism. Right on, Mayor Sala, though:

    Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said that ICE would not be welcome in his city, which is hosting the Feb. 6 opening ceremony to be attended by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, as well as most ice sports.

    “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,” Sala told RTL Radio 102.

      I can’t help but feel like this is a loyalty test by Trump. If Italy complains about this obviously controversial move, Trump will see this as a reason to retaliate and if they don’t complain, it begins to normalize this kind of awful behavior.
