Imagine being a fucking fascist who loves the taste of trump's ass.
That's more like it.
They're to prevent US athletes defecting to EU.
Fascism? In Italy?!
It's like the throw back episode where the new actor for the role meets the old, popular actor from the decades old series in a brief cameo.
Ah yes. Using your country's immigration police in a location where it is physically impossible to enter your country. Truly 4D checkers.
Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a sting operation. ICE comes to Italy. Doesn't understand they have no jurisdiction. They all get arrested and thrown into jail.
You think fascist like Meloni are against Trump?
Pretty sure fascists don't like other fascists exerting power in their domain.
That was a great scene in the first Bourne movie.
I would like that very much, but its unlikely any of them have broken Italian laws, so it would probably be unlawful arrests (and then they would get let go)
I was assuming they'd keep acting as ICE and would break laws.
This is the equivalent of using the Hells Angels as security at the Altamont concert. Didn’t end well.
That role is to be a threat to the security of others in the vicinity of ICE agents.
Why? Seriosly, why?
To prevent foreign athletes from coming back in the US luggage, I guess🤷
There is precedent to "borrow" investigators and even gunmen from other orgs to provide security for the politicians and athletes (residual fear from Munich 72). DHS have apparently been used on past trips.
Of course, that isn't what is happening here. fuckface wants his gestapo out in force. The real question being whether he wants to attack "illegal immigrants" anywhere he goes or if he just heard that other countries get to have people with guns and he likes those people with guns.
More evidence ICE is simply a secret police.
I'm seriously expecting these ICE assholes will kill at least one or two riders (most of them are less than "pure-white") with italian nationality to, soon after, see the assholes in charge justify it somehow.
Can't see this turning out well...
What could possibly go wrong?
Meh, Europe is used to dealing with hooligans.
I want these pieces of shit out of my town right now, we have the carabinieri and the polizia di stato for these kinds of things
But wouldn’t it be nice to have a couple of completely uncontrollable gunslinging murderes walking around and spreading fear?
In case any of the athletes require execution?
I know for a fact that Slovenia allows Israeli "security" personnel carrying guns in the country. So, I wouldn't be surprised if Italy just let them.
Personally? I think it's a PR op. They go there with ICE on their best behavior, maybe some speaking Italian. They're extra nice, hand out some stuff. All to make ICE look like good guys to make Ds in America come off as lawless agressors.
