HuffPost
ICE staffers will only work in U.S. diplomatic offices such as the Milan consulate and "not on the ground" at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
ROME, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Italy has detailed a sweeping security plan for the Winter Olympics, stressing that it will keep command of all operations after news emerged that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff would be assisting the U.S. delegation.
The Games will be one of the most complex security operations Italy has had to manage, with the event split between two main hubs, Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, with additional events held elsewhere across the north.
About 3,500 athletes will take part in the event, which runs from February 6 to February 22, with the government expecting some 2 million visitors, including 60,000 for the opening ceremony in Milan’s San Siro stadium.
The U.S. delegation will be led by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
