“Io da italiano, prima ancora che da cittadino milanese, non mi sento tutelato da Piantedosi, che dice che se anche dovessero venire” gli agenti dell'Ice per i Giochi olimpici “che problema c'è?! Questa è una milizia che uccide” ha detto il sindaco di Milano, Giuseppe Sala, in diretta a Rtl 102.5. “È una milizia che entra nelle case della gente firmandosi il permesso, è chiaro che non sono i benvenuti a Milano” ha aggiunto il primo cittadino. “Io mi chiedo, noi potremo dire per una volta un no a Trump? Gli agenti dell'Ice non devono venire in Italia perché non sono allineati al nostro modo democratico di garantire la sicurezza”.

“Siamo ancora in tempo, invito a il governo a ripensarci” ha chiesto il sindaco, precisando che “da quello che sembra emergere, Piantedosi non lo sapeva nemmeno, sembra che i media abbiano aiutato il ministro a capire che stava arrivando l'Ice. Quindi decisamente male”.


"As an Italian, before even as a citizen of Milano, I don't feel protected by Piantedosi, who says that even if [ICE agents] were to come [to the Olympics], what's the problem with that? This is a paramilitary that has killed people," said the mayor of Milano, Giuseppe Sala, live to RtI 102.5. "And it's a paramilitary that has entered people's houses without permission, and it's clear that they are not welcome in Milano," added the mayor. "I wonder, will we be able to say No to Trump for once? The ICE agents should not come to Italy because they are not aligned with our democratic means of guaranteeing security."

"We still have time, and I ask the government to rethink this," asked the mayor, specifying that "from what seems to have come out, Piantedosi didn't even know about it himself; it seems that the media helped the minister even understand that ICE was coming. So it's definitely bad."
