Italians are expressing concern over news that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will travel to Italy for the Winter Olympics to assist with security operations.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security told CNN that Homeland Security Investigations, a wing of ICE responsible for cross-border crime, will assist with security operations.
