In his meeting with the Italian prime minister, Vance praised "the spirit of the Olympics, friendship, competition, and coming together around shared values"

The presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as part of the security of the U.S. delegation at the Olympics drew criticism in Italy.

However, the Italian government specified that ICE agents will not have any operational role in its territory.
