Italian opposition politicians call for diplomatic action after RAI journalists face threats from ICE agents while reporting in Minneapolis

cross-posted from: https://discuss.online/post/34542663

Two journalists from Italy’s state broadcaster RAI were threatened by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis while filming a report on rising tensions in the US under Donald Trump’s administration, sparking a political backlash in Italy.

In a video posted on the Instagram account of the news show In Mezz’Ora, journalists Laura Cappon and Daniele Babbo are inside a car with anti-ICE activists as they follow a jeep carrying agents searching the city for people to detain.
