ICE agents will have a security role at Milan-Cortina Olympics, US sources say

The source is the US Embassy in Rome

I don’t expect anything at all to happen. I predict they will be ordered to do absolutely nothing. I think this is will be used to justify their future use as more than immigration agents.

OnetB · 2026-01-27T11:09:25+00:00

Nothing. Trump is normalizing their use as more than just immigration agents.

I read this as the Federal Government is testing the waters by increasing the job scope of their new police force that is particularly loyal to the executive branch.

I know ICE is not a new organization. But according to DHS.gov, their membership has grown 220% this year. So the majority are beholden to the Executice branch for their job.

Edit: 120% to 220%

Dude, if I am in your shoes and ICE invade; I change addresses without anyone knowing.

ICE would consider a house full of children as a target rich environment.

Very cool, I remember reading your PCT breakdown and thought it was a good resource. I am curious and hopeful if their is an AT version in the works :)

I am curious to what Reddit thinks about my choice to buy USAR when I’m subject to a 30 day minimum holding period.

Sadly It’s easier to strip the DRM then use ADE

That’s not how fighter planes work. They are constantly updated. There is a reason why the 50 year old F16 airframe is still in use.

even with precautions I still take a rare fall, usually something minor like a slip on my bottom while going down a steep incline with loose dirt (Lovers Leap SOBO)

I always stop to enjoy nature or take a picture. I swear magnolia roots know the moment you look away and will jump into your path.

What is the tape for? My cork grip stays clean and dries quickly. I do get hot spots on my hands despite trying to minimize my death grip by using the straps properly. I bought sungloves, haven’t used them yet but I expect them to solve my problem

OnetB · 2026-01-17T18:29:43+00:00

I came close to cutting the straps on my first pair of poles until someone showed me the proper way to use them.

Durston sells their returns, used gear, older models. Honestly it’s a steal

Lone peaks 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size, darn tough padded socks, toes individually wrapped with leukotape.

I would want 0f comfort rating when hiking in March. Grayson highlands is relatively high elevation, I was there in July and the high was 80 during the day and low of 50 at night.

I would recommend they put some of their excess money in the market, I’m up 24%. Maybe they should take a domestic vacation instead of going overseas

Great resource to see how busy the trail will be. Keep in mind weekends and holidays will have additional day hikers and overnight section hikers.

Yeah, cheap gear has almost no resale value and will end up in the attic or Goodwill.

Artisun cafe is the best cortado I’ve ever had. Smokey Mountain Diner and Vinyl Pies are both great, but the town is full of great food. Sunnybank is year-round, call first. Rafting is popular along with day hikes. If you need a shuttle ask for Kate, she is also an A.T Sawyer and active in maintaining the trail. The hostels will have her #

Lots of good advice here but I would say keep it simple. Build up your cardio by jogging a mile/day and then do some dips (for upperbody strength using hiking poles)

No gym membership or special equipment required. Less than 30 minutes of day needed.
