ICE's Homeland Security Investigations division will back up the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service at the February 6-22 Milano Cortina Olympics. ICE and Border Patrol agents have come under heavy criticism in the U.S. over their enforcement of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, and recent news ICE would be operating at the Games caused anger in Italy and led to protests. Italian politicians have strongly criticized the presence of ICE agents in the country, despite assurances that there is nothing unusual about the deployment, highlighting how the image of the U.S. has been tarnished in recent months. Vance will be joined by his wife, Usha, the second lady of the United States, for the ceremony. The delegation will also include Rubio, U.S. Ambassador to Italy Tilman Fertitta and several former Olympic champions. (Production: Eva Weininger)
