President Donald Trump’s administration has sparked outrage over a secret plot to send ICE agents to provide security to the U.S. delegation at the Winter Olympics next month.

Italian government officials originally denied, then confirmed, then denied again a Saturday report from the left-leaning Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano that ICE would support local law enforcement at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympics from Feb. 6 to March 15.

The plan comes after an ICE agent shot and killed Minneapolis mother of three Renee Nicole Good and a Border Patrol officer shot and killed Veterans Affairs nurse Alex Pretti, both 37. ICE has instructed its agents to break into homes without warrants, stopped off-duty police officers of color, and arrested a 5-year-old boy.

In a statement to the Daily Beast, Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed that ICE would be assisting Italy during the Olympic Games
