Italy has detailed a sweeping security plan for the Winter Olympics, stressing it will keep command of all operations after news emerged that United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) staff would be assisting the US delegation.

The Games will be one of the most complex security operations Italy has had to manage, with the ⁠event split between two main hubs, Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, with additional events held elsewhere across the north.
