Hundreds of people gathered in Milan's Piazza XXV Aprile to protest the involvement of United States law enforcement staff at the upcoming Winter Olympics. Demonstrators, including members of groups honoring Italy's resistance during the Second World War, carried banners and sang songs to voice their opposition. The protest was sparked by news that United States federal agencies would be deployed to assist with security at the Games, a decision that has caused outrage in Italy following recent incidents involving United States agents. Organizers emphasized solidarity with global human rights efforts and expressed concern over the presence of foreign law enforcement at the event.
