Foreign security teams spark unease ahead of Milano Cortina Olympics

Days before the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, Italians are unsettled by foreign security deployments: U.S. ICE will accompany a U.S. delegation to help vet risks (not enforce immigration law), while a Qatar public security contingent arrives to bolster protection. Protests have erupted in Milan against ICE’s presence, and concerns over Qatar’s security forces—who’ve faced abuse allegations—fuel the debate, even as Italy stresses that security is managed by Italian authorities and thousands of Italian personnel are on duty for the Games.
