Olympic Committee Urges Fans Not to Boo U.S. Delegation at Milan Winter Olympics
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has requested that fans refrain from booing the U.S. delegation, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during the opening ceremony of the Milan Winter Olympics. This plea comes amid controversy over the deployment of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit to provide security at the games, which has sparked protests and petitions. The presence of ICE agents has been met with resistance from local officials and the public in Milan, who are concerned about the agency's methods and recent U.S. immigration crackdowns. The IOC hopes the opening ceremony will be a moment of respect and unity, despite the geopolitical tensions surrounding the event.
