I still do not understand why ICE have to be or should be in Italy. Other than toact as some sort of shitty security detail.

They want to punish athletes who protest. They’re there to intimidate the Americans, not the Italians or anyone else.

I’m curious to see if any of the athletes who brought their families are gonna stay.

Unfortunately many of the competitors are rich kids with conservative parents, so I haven’t seen any likely candidates yet.

ICE itself should not exist. It's primary purpose is to intimidate every normal person and divide our nation, while only the psychopaths and sociopaths cheer them on.

Trump knows they are loyal to him, so he likes to parade them around. I guess now he likes doing this on the world stage.
