With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.

Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

Learning that Vance will be at Winter Olympics has almost wrecked my anticipation. And these ICE thugs -- what are they supposed to do there? Can they kidnap people on Italian territory?

Milan-Cortina makes about as much sense as Toronto-Iqaluit. Milan is as 'winter sports' as Croydon.
