ICE is not welcome in Milan, the city’s mayor has said after the agency announced its officers would accompany the US vice-president to the Winter Olympics in Italy next month.

Their proposed visit has drawn sharp criticism after the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

Giuseppe Sala, the mayor of Milan, said he did not want ICE agents showing up in his city. “This is a militia that kills,” he said. “It’s clear that they are not welcome in Milan, there’s no doubt about it.”

Sala, who is associated with the left-wing opposition Democratic Party, said: “Can’t we just say no to Trump for once?”

Carlo Calenda, head of the centrist opposition party Azione, said: “ICE is an unprepared, violent and out-of-control militia. It must not set foot in Italy.”
