ICE has gone to Italy? what the fuck? why?

In a propaganda stunt designed to legitimize the paramilitary force loyal to them, the American Regime suggested they bring them to support the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service.

Every major international tournament brings in fans from all over. To aid local policing, the host nation invites police from those countries to help. ICE are among the agencies the US has sent, likely due to their experience with travel and customs issues.
Americans may occasionally see foreign police during the world cup later this year.

Sending ICE to help local the police force of a foreign country is like send the Coast Guard to a rescue mission in the desert.

Not sure why you're downvoted. You're right, and I remember when ErdoÄŸan came to the states, and there was a large protest and his security detail didn't really handle it.... Hmm well maybe they did handle it in the current American way.

That is the response Toa few ice officers in Italy

Too bad our cops are armed like a paramilitary force. You would probably see a lot mote activate protests if they weren't shooting people in the face and tear gassing entire city blocks. I absolutely get the need to be courageous and stand up against fascism, but we need to be practical about the pressures being used to keep people from standing up. The wealthy have spent decades putting larger and larger roadblocks between the American people and their government, to the point that the very real and massive protests so far have been almost entirely ineffectual. Calling for a general strike or pointing at another country and expecting it to just happen in the US is ignoring the reality and nuance of the situation and only services to make people feel even more powerless.

Not to mention that violent protests is exactly what Trump wants.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 218d
Yup pulling this shit in the US would:
Public support for ICE is at an all-time low, and even deep red districts are electing democrats in special elections. What we're doing now is working. I want to believe the noose is tightening on Trump & co.

MAGA only has a one vote lead in the House, and seats are flipping so fast, MAGA may lose their majority BEFORE the Midterms, which would really blow their election interference strategies. And be fucking hilarious.
The DNC should be recruiting Republican Reps to immediately retire, offering them big cash bonuses if they leave now. That's what MAGA would do.
Maybe talk to some big Democratic donors, and see if they'll hire some MAGA Congressman for a high paid cushy job where he can't do much damage. Then fire him when MAGA falls.

I'd clap if I wasn't already rubbing one out
Formfiller@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 219d
They could have easily just banned ICE
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 218d
They should have turned them away at the Italian border. Go home, assholes.

I mean they don't, or at least not any Europeans in power. Otherwise these protests wouldn't be needed.
The current party in power in Italy is the neo-fascist FDI, so from a political standpoint I imagine at least they are pretty cool with Israel and the US, which by extension reflects the Italian electorate.

Still don’t understand why a countries immigration enforcement branch is in another country for games.
If it was the FBeye you could maybe loosely sort of understand. But ICE?
Italy, just kick em out. They have no authority. At least citizens can legally punch them.

Alerta, alerta, antifascista! 🚩🚩

I wonder what would happen if one of the ice was afraid for their life so started shooting folks randomly.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d
So Italian riot squads don’t have guns?
Spawn7586@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 219d
Lol, only a crazy country would allow that
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 218d
Italy is okay with ICE being there??
Bakkoda@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 218d
Yeah you can see everyone holding hands in the video and singing.
🤔
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 217d
I meant the entity that granted them permission to enter the country. Was that not obvious?
Bakkoda@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 215d
You have photo evidence of them in the country so up until recently that's usually proof the governing body was ok with it. Is that obvious enough?
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 215d
Why you being mean? The enemy is ICE and fascists. Leave me alone.
