European lawmakers are urging the European Union to block U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from entering the continent ahead of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, citing human-rights concerns and the agency’s contentious track record.
Several members of the European Parliament have written to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other E.U. leaders calling for “restrictive measures” to “prevent the entry of such forces onto its territory” after reports that ICE’s investigative arm, Homeland Security Investigations, would provide security coordination support for U.S. officials and athletes during the games beginning on Friday.
