    This is like them sending agents to the superbowl.

    It’s just throwing a bone to ICE agents instead of anything meaningful.

    But congress needs to press why the secret service is insufficient to protect Vance, and why on earth ICE would be, given this is completely outside their mandate.

    ICE protects US borders, by (checks notes) going to another country, in another continent. Yeah, I’m thinking they get locked up on arrival and turned around. Diplomatic immunity, my arse!

    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.

    Why is a US intra-governmental unit, being sent international to a place they have absolutely zero jurisdiction?

    Every one of them should be arrested for being accomplices to murder, for being accessories before, during, and after the fact. Send them all to The Hague.
