A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you hear about something crazy happening in Italy?
B: Oh no! What is it, Ken-san? Italy is so beautiful!
A: Apparently, people are protesting! It’s about the American Olympics!
B: The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics? What's wrong with that?
A: The US wants to send some ICE officers—you know, immigration people—to help with security.
B: ICE? Really? That’s… a bit much, isn’t it?
A: Yeah! Hundreds of people protested in Milan. They had signs and everything.
B: The mayor said they weren’t welcome! Good for her!
A: It’s also happening because there’s been a lot of anger in America.
B: About what?
A: Federal agents… they shot and killed two people recently. They were targeting undocumented immigrants.
B: Oh my goodness! That's terrible! So people are connecting that to the ICE officers in Italy?
A: Exactly! The US government says these ICE officers aren't doing immigration stuff over there, just security.
B: I see. But people are still really upset, huh? It’s a complicated situation.
A: Totally. It’s getting a lot of attention. Poor Italy!
