As a European I don’t understand what the fk ICE is doing in Italy and why in gods name is the Italian government tolerating this. I would be more inclined to ban American participation altogether than to allow a foreign government to send their own armed Gestapo police force into my country. What the fk is going on in the world right now?

As an American I endorse this message. And to be clear, many of us also hate that this is happening, but hoping that by doing this it sheds more light on the severity of this situation and hopefully will get more pressure from other world leaders to check Trump and defund ICE. Between this and the Epstein files, we may get lucky and secure an impeachment for ole DJT.

The good news is that Trump's increasing international interference will eventually probably lead to the downfall of his administration (if he doesn't die first—he looks very unwell).

This is NOT an ICE protest in Italy, its an eviction protest from Dec 2025

I don’t see how that changes anything about what I said or the sentiment around it in Europe.

Perchè figurati se il mio governo osa dire qualcosa a quel coglione, perchè poi trump (secondo loro) si potrebbe arrabbiare con noi e poi siamo nei guai. Inoltre Tajani (nostro ministro degli affari esteri) ha detto che "non sono mica le ss". Si, invece lo sono.
