Milan Citizens Say 'No More' to ICE in Peaceful Protest

A recent peaceful protest was launched by the citizens of Milan against the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), expressed through the Japanese phrase "ICEは出ていけ” which means "ICE must go". Some Japanese communities are deeply concerned by the agency's policies and operations as they feel it tramples on human rights. The specific reasons for the protests and the number of participants have not been specified yet.

While this event might be happening in Milan, it appears to be of importance to Japanese news due to the involvement of Japanese communities and the use of a Japanese phrase during the protest. In Japan, the protection of civil rights and human dignity is highly valued, fostering a culture of critical attention to immigration policies deemed excessively strict or dehumanizing.

Similar protests against ICE have happened in the US as many Americans have raised issues about ICE's approach to immigration, specifically, their detention practices. In the EU, a general caution against harsh anti-immigrant policies is also seen. The theme of protesting for more humane immigration policies appears universal.
