Such a bad look on Italy. They should be clearly saying "no" to US ICE and all US military/terrorism. Right on, Mayor Sala, though:

I can't help but feel like this is a loyalty test by Trump. If Italy complains about this obviously controversial move, Trump will see this as a reason to retaliate and if they don't complain, it begins to normalize this kind of awful behavior.

Italians kind of like dictators.

Why is a US intra-governmental unit, being sent international to a place they have absolutely zero jurisdiction?

Great fucking question! At first I was like are they in the us this year? No…? Ummmmmmm. Pretty fucked!

ICE protects US borders, by (checks notes) going to another country, in another continent. Yeah, I'm thinking they get locked up on arrival and turned around. Diplomatic immunity, my arse!

Trump went to Davos and returned without incident, no one is going to do anything to them.

Every one of them should be arrested for being accomplices to murder, for being accessories before, during, and after the fact. Send them all to The Hague.

Should capture them and deport them to a random country.

This is like them sending agents to the superbowl.
It’s just throwing a bone to ICE agents instead of anything meaningful.
But congress needs to press why the secret service is insufficient to protect Vance, and why on earth ICE would be, given this is completely outside their mandate.

Italians likely about to get the Erdogan treatment.
