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?

Yeah but the party prefers their brown shirts.

[-] III@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I prefer brown pants

Isn't that Trump's nickname at this point?

[-] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

Most countries send a policing presence to major international sporting tournaments.

[-] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah? Their specialised immigration police? Interesting, I didn't know that. /s

Considering many of the issues would relate to customs or international travel, then yes there is often a customs/immigration element.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk -2 points 2 weeks ago

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