ICE has gone to Italy? what the fuck? why?
In a propaganda stunt designed to legitimize the paramilitary force loyal to them, the American Regime suggested they bring them to support the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service.

Triumph of the Swill
Because meloni is a trump's dick sucker

Every major international tournament brings in fans from all over. To aid local policing, the host nation invites police from those countries to help. ICE are among the agencies the US has sent, likely due to their experience with travel and customs issues.
Sending ICE to help local the police force of a foreign country is like send the Coast Guard to a rescue mission in the desert.
