About this listen

Growing outrage in Italy after it was announced ICE agents would be in attendance at the Winter Olympics next month.

The US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that they will serve a security role, supporting the US diplomatic security service at the Games.

Current and former politicians within Italy are urging Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to block the agents’ presence in the wake of two fatal shootings by ICE in Minneapolis.

Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking she wouldn’t be surprised to see major protests over this, as people are pretty unhappy with the news.
