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><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Demonstrators also protested the presence<\/a> of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Italy, The Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

The clash with police occurred near Milan\u2019s Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, a newly built venue that has faced scrutiny over construction delays and rink-size concerns.<\/p>\n

Global Guardian, an international security firm, issued a travel alert Saturday, according to AP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The alert also said at least five individuals were taken into custody.<\/p>\n

A group of masked protesters<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Police vans behind a temporary metal fence secured the road to the athletes\u2019 village, but the protesters veered away, continuing their apparent route toward the Santagiulia venue. A heavy police presence<\/a> guarded the entire route.<\/p>\n

There was no indication that the protest and resulting road closure interfered with athletes\u2019 transfers<\/a> to their events, all on the outskirts of Milan.<\/p>\n

At a larger, peaceful demonstration, which police said numbered about 10,000, people carried cardboard cutouts representing trees felled to build the new bobsled run in Cortina. A group of dancers performed to the beat of drums. Music blasted from a truck leading the march, including a profanity-laced anti-ICE anthem.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s take back the cities and free the mountains,” a banner by the Unsustainable Olympic Committee said. Another group called the Association of Proletariat Excursionists organized the cutout trees.<\/p>\n
