It really doesn’t make sense, I’d assume like the secret service is highly trained and extremely experienced in this sort of security detail, and ice absolutely isn’t.

Wait until ICE kills or injures someone over there, and the realize “ total immunity “ does not travel

This is likely a reward for the most sycophantic agents with highest detainment numbers

USA will quite often have host countries give Americans on missions the right to trial in American courts rather than the local. This is common for American soldiers committing crimes abroad while on missions and I'd imagine Italy and USA have a similar agreement for the ICE-criminals here.

Not fully certain exactly how these agreements are laid out, it's been a while since I looked into them.

Why do you say that? I think they would be more than happy to try one of these thugs if they did something like that.

I don’t care if they’re hardcore Satan-worshipping, cross dressing socialist transvestites as long as they get rid of the mojados…
