The melee underscored the opposition of a small-but-vocal segment of protesters as the Winter Games unfold, with passions also inflamed by revelations late last month that agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were being sent to Italy on a routine deployment to assist with Olympic security.

On Saturday, thousands of protesters shouting slogans and holding signs including “ICE out” and “Defend Minneapolis” gathered at Milan’s Piazzale Medaglie D’Oro for a march that was intended to end in the vicinity of the main Olympic Village.
