Incidents involving violent interventions by US federal law enforcement agencies continue to spark protests not only in the United States but also in Europe.
On 31 January, a protest march was held in Milan by a section of the Italian public against the United States' plan to send its federal law enforcement agencies to Italy during the Winter Olympics. They are supposed to help the US side with security.
The protesters said they do not want people who kill on their streets, neither in Italy nor in the United States. They said they stand with the protesters in Minneapolis and reject claims that the security of the Olympics is at stake. They say there is no reason for US federal agents to be in Italy or in Milan itself.
The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from 6 to 22 February. The U.S. State Department recently announced that some U.S. federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will be involved in security measures. This announcement provoked strong opposition in Italy.
Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala has also spoken out against the presence of US immigration agents, saying on 27 January that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are not welcome in the city.
At the same time, demonstrations are taking place in many parts of the United States against the violent crackdown by US federal law enforcement on immigration enforcement. According to organizers, at least 300 protests will take place over the course of one weekend in all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.
On 31 January, protests were held in places such as Minneapolis, Minnesota, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and elsewhere.
