ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

You’ll have that when the brown shirts knock on your door. Until then I get you can keep joking about it, because it isn’t happening to you (yet).

Makes me think they're there to scan the entire stadium and upload it to their new tracking database

Why? You at in a different country. Why would you send YOUR immigration agents. That's like bringing your own chef to a restaurant you don't own.

Watch some recording of the Olympics when the Nazis were still around and your realize why ICE is there.

Why? Because there are people arriving from around the world, and this quickly overwhelms local policing.
