A group of American ICE agents is supposed to travel to Italy with the US delegation for the Winter Olympics.
From the Workers’ Group, we join the call of Italian civil society and democratic political forces sending a clear message: ICE has no place in Europe. The agency is clearly out of control and behaves like a paramilitary group without any democratic control or respect for Human Rights, having already killed two US citizens and created a state of fear, kidnapping people in the streets, entering their homes and workplaces with impunity.
At its January 2026 plenary session, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) adopted an opinion calling for a significantly strengthened European Social Fund (ESF) within the future National and Regional Partnership Plans (NRPPs). The Committee argues that the ESF must play a central role in ensuring quality jobs, lifelong learning, social inclusion and equal opportunities for all during the 2028–2034 programming period.
