Giuseppe Sala, the mayor of Milan, has sharply criticised reports that agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement could be deployed during the Olympics.
According to People Magazine, the agents would be tasked with helping protect the US Olympic team and American diplomats.
Sala said he does not want ICE agents operating in Milan.
He described the agency as “a militia that kills” and said its reputation makes it unsuitable for security duties during an international sporting event.
