I'm sure ICE is only support for the secret services. It's not replacing that.

With the global anti-Americanism (and honestly well deserved) I suppose they needed a bunch of grunts in case their political figures visiting in Italy gets attacked by an angry crowd.

Secret services are not meant to handle large crowds (nor ICE to be fair).
