Hundreds of demonstrators in Milan protested the deployment of ICE agents during the Winter Olympics, citing concerns about human rights and 'creeping fascism' in the US. The protest, which included members of the Democratic Party, trade unions, and partisan resistance groups, took place in Piazza XXV Aprile, named for Italy’s liberation from Nazi fascism. Milan’s mayor declared the agents unwelcome, and the Italian interior minister is set to testify in Parliament about the deployment.
