ICE Agents to Have Security Role at Winter Olympics Amidst International Tensions
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will have a security role at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson, Sky News reported on Tuesday. The announcement comes as Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Conference of European Rabbis, called on European countries to increase their support for Iranian protesters seeking to overthrow the Tehran regime, citing Iran's responsibility for rising antisemitism.
The presence of ICE agents at the Milan Cortina Games was confirmed as the Trump administration's point person for crackdowns in Minneapolis was reassigned, Sky News noted. The DHS spokesperson insisted the agents would not be engaging in enforcement activities.
