MILAN -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will have a security role during the upcoming Milan Cortina Winter Games, according to information shared with local media by sources at the U.S. Embassy in Rome. The Associated Press independently confirmed the information with two sources at the embassy.

The sources who confirmed ICE participation Tuesday said that federal ICE agents would support diplomatic security details and would not run any immigration enforcement operations.

During previous Olympics, several federal agencies have supported security for U.S. diplomats, including the investigative component of ICE called Homeland Security Investigations, the sources said. They could not be named because they are not authorized to speak publicly.

Remember how Chuck Schumer led a small minority of Democrats to get the CR passed and pave the way for the Bif Ugly Death Bill?

4. They want military police to replace our regular police,

When I traveled to other countries for work they had heavily armed military police on nearly every street corner. I learned very quickly to avoid them. This is what Krasnov wants for America.

8. It really gets me angry

When they say ICE will be there to provide security for diplomats. Fine. But then they say there are no plans for immigration enforcement.
