The chaotic events led to five arrests, according to a security alert
A chaotic scene unfolded in Milan Saturday as police deployed water cannons and tear gas against demonstrators just steps away from an Olympic ice hockey rink.
A group known as the Unsustainable Olympics Committee organized demonstrations highlighting concerns related to the environmental, economic and social impact of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
Demonstrators also protested the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Italy, The Associated Press reported.
The clash with police occurred near Milan’s Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, a newly built venue that has faced scrutiny over construction delays and rink-size concerns.
Global Guardian, an international security firm, issued a travel alert Saturday, according to AP.
"Anticipate heightened security and associated disruptions in the affected area over the next several hours," the security alert said. "Plot route bypasses. Avoid all protests."
The alert also said at least five individuals were taken into custody.
FEMALE NORDIC COMBINED ATHLETES PLAN PROTEST OVER OLYMPIC EXCLUSION: 'IT'S SO MESSED UP'
A group of masked protesters was seen setting off smoke bombs and firecrackers on a bridge overlooking a construction site approximately half a mile from the Olympic Village. An estimated 1,500 athletes are being housed at the Olympic Village for this year's Games.
Police vans behind a temporary metal fence secured the road to the athletes’ village, but the protesters veered away, continuing their apparent route toward the Santagiulia venue. A heavy police presence guarded the entire route.
There was no indication that the protest and resulting road closure interfered with athletes’ transfers to their events, all on the outskirts of Milan.

Winter Olympics To Protest Trump’s Immigration Policies By Removing Ice From Skating Rinks
This story is ironic on several levels.
More communist agitators.
Water cannons. Want to see a few of those in Minnesota. That will discourage the chaos.
they’re probably waiting till summer time when the water cannons double as sterilization modules.
It’s the Faglympics...who cares?
LOL! Oh that Bee.
Ho hum. Protests about something every day everywhere.
Some group of nudniks should declare “No Protest Week” if they want to get attention. Maybe “Chill Week” down at the beach hear the Mexican border. Free Tamales and cerveca for all. Everyone basking on their own side of the border.
This could get to be a regular thing like baseball and football season. People’s Diplomacy..
No, I haven’t been drinking.

Yup. And this Olympics has just started….
Do we really need the Olympics anymore? They’ve turned them into a new Special Olympics for athletes with numerous mental issues. Why aren’t the emotionally confused ahos walking out of events like the retards in schools walk out of glass?
