ICE agents have no operational police role in Olympics: Italy

ROME: Agents from the divisive US immigration enforcement agency ICE will have no operational role in the Winter Olympics, Italy’s interior minister said Wednesday, two days before the Milan-Cortina Games open. ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) — which is separate from the department carrying out the US immigration crackdown — will operate within US diplomatic missions only and “are not operational agents” and “have no executive function,” Matteo Piantedosi told parliament.
