Italy rules out ICE police role at Winter Games

Italy has ruled out any operational police role for United States immigration agency ICE during the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, following public anger over its planned presence.​ Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told parliament that only the Homeland Security Investigations arm of ICE will be in Italy and that its staff will work inside United States diplomatic missions. He stressed they are not operational agents and have no powers to carry out law enforcement activities on Italian soil.​ Piantedosi said criticism and fears about their role at the Games were completely unfounded. He explained that HSI focuses on global threats such as the illegal movement of people, goods and weapons and is separate from the part of ICE that leads the controversial immigration crackdown in the United States.​ The minister noted it is standard practice for countries to send security […]

US immigration officer shoots Venezuelan man in Minneapolis

A US federal immigration officer has shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, intensifying tensions in a city already on edge over recent immigration raids.

Petro warns of possible US military action

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has said there is now a serious risk of US military action against his country, warning that Washington’s recent rhetoric and operations are pushing relations into dangerous territory. In an interview with the BBC, Petro said the United States was increasingly behaving like an “empire” toward Latin America and could end up becoming isolated internationally if it continued on its current path. His comments came after US President Donald Trump said a military operation in Colombia “sounds good”, following recent US strikes in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Petro said such statements could not be taken lightly, recalling Colombia’s past loss of territory and describing the remarks as a “real threat” to national sovereignty. The two leaders spoke by phone on Wednesday, with Trump later describing the exchange as an honour and suggesting he […]

Apple Removes ICE Tracking Apps from App Store

Apple has removed several mobile applications used to track U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from its App Store. The move came on Thursday following reported pressure from the Trump administration. The apps, which allowed users to anonymously report the locations of ICE officers, had grown in popularity amid the administration's intensified deportation efforts. Officials argued that the apps endangered law enforcement lives, citing a recent deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas where the gunman was alleged to have used such a tool. Apple confirmed the removal in a statement, saying it acted "based on information we've received from law enforcement about the safety risks." The Attorney General's office stated it had demanded the removal of the popular "ICEBlock" app, and Apple complied. The company did not provide further comment on the decision, which highlights the ongoing […]

Trump govt launches immigration raids in Chicago

The Trump administration has launched a major immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, escalating tensions with Illinois leaders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the crackdown on Monday under the codename “Operation Midway Blitz,” saying it targets the “worst of the worst criminals.” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and other Democratic officials of allowing violent offenders, including gang members and drug traffickers, back onto Chicago’s streets. “For years, Governor Pritzker and his fellow sanctuary politicians released Tren de Aragua gang members, rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers on Chicago’s streets — putting American lives at risk,” McLaughlin said in a statement. Pritzker fired back, calling the raids politically motivated. He wrote on X that the operation “isn’t about fighting crime” and accused Washington of failing to coordinate with state and city authorities. “The Trump administration is […]
