      I mean that exactly the problem: they ain’t Secret Service, they got no place there.

      True – it is not SS, it is SA. Thanks for clarification. Does it make it much better?

      „It’s not the SS. Sure, they murder civilians on the street, beat up and harrass ethnic minorities, assault protesters, abduct children and lock them in concentration camps and their leader has a Nazi-esque trenchcoat. But that doesn’t mean they’re the SS!“

      Regardless they are American immigration enforcement. Why the fuck they would be in Italy?

      Can someone explain how American border agents even have jurisdiction in another country, let alone on another continent?

      What’s the logic behind it – are they just openly Trump’s private army? Are they expecting a *crazy* amount of Italians trying to stowaway on American aircraft?

      It doesn’t matter what they are not. It is about what they ARE and represent.

      We can also say the name, he is Tajani and people here might already know him since he has been in Berlusconi’s party for over 30 years and was even President of the European Parliament for 2 years

      From the article:

      „On Tuesday, ICE confirmed it would send a branch with the diplomatic security service to protect top officials.

      “I have been harder than anyone else in Italy on [the ICE] raids,” said Mr Taijani, addressing the backlash. “But it’s not like the SS are coming.”

      “The problem isn’t that those with machine guns and their faces covered are coming. They’re officials from a specific unit. They’re coming because it’s the unit responsible for counter-terrorism,”“

      So messed up. Well there you have it, the right-wing party of Italy of Meloni at work and being buddy with pumpkin lord.

      „it’s not like the SS are coming“ sounds reassuring!

      How low the bar has fallen… Comparing a US agency with SS is normal now (even if you do not agree that they are the same).

      Also its not the KGB, so all good. Thank you for your attention on this matter. Continue.

      It’s interesting that his defense is “*But it’s not like the SS are coming.*” It shows you just how far ICE/DHS has fallen that even people defending them have to start off with they’re not like the SS.

      Perhaps that gives you a hint of what they really are like…..

      Future headline: American ICE agent assaults Italian man in Italy for not speaking English.

      If memory serves me right they were also on the side of the Nazis during ww2 so, to be expected i guess. Japan next too for good measure?

      Well I’m not a member of the government but I live in America and a lot of us think that ice is the SS. The recent murder of Alex Pretti is a good example of why the Italian foreign minister is wrong. ICE was formed to combat illegal aliens inside America, they aren’t a personal protection agency. They have no business going there. And for any of my European friends that don’t know, ICE has been on a massive recruiting drive over here taking in any and all kinds with no background checks or anything like that. They are purposely hiring all the white power people so they can go in and do shit like we see in Minneapolis. The scum of my country is on its way over and the foreign minister is okay with that.

      Not the SS but is equivalent to the Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (MVSN).

      Not certain why this is acceptable but there you are.

      At the point where you have to say this, you know you’re defending the indefensible

    33. Nutcollectr on

      Counting the organizations that shoot people openly on the street and get defended by their ‚regime‘ – will be a nice list

    34. ndnver on

      The fact he felt obligated to state it’s not the SS tells you all you need to know.

    35. Old-Buffalo-5151 on

      Im going to assume he knew full well what he was doing with that statement… And Americans are too daft to notice (and most redditors)

    37. rndbts on

      What is ICE looking for in Europe? In my opinion an immigration office has no jurisdiction to act outside of their country. Italy’s stance is very interesting to say the least.

    39. CuffsOffWilly on

      I think it’s time for us to start calling them ICES. They’re more of a terrorist organization.

    40. VoidRippah on

      But ICE is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, what business do they have in any other country?

    42. Few-Flounder-8951895 on

      Quick reminder that the current Italian government is a fan of Trump and they want to be like Trump and his goons. People of Italy please vote them out next time.

    43. firemakethunder on

      What an insane statement, is this real life?
      If an ICE agent decides to shoot and kill a european citizen that dares to protest anywhere near the american officials, he’ll just get back on a plane home and the victim will be branded as a terrorist, it’s that simple folks.

    48. Moist_Examination_23 on

      Well the Italian PM is a Trump bootlicker so why is anyone surprised..
      Italians are historically partial to a little racism too 🤡

      They executed a man on the street and immediately started vilifying him.
