Italian editorial priority on January 26 began with a heavy focus on the American crisis in Minneapolis. Editors tracked President Trump’s shifting stance as he alternated between defending ICE agents involved in the Alex Pretti killing and suggesting a federal withdrawal from the city. This international tension was mirrored by morning sports coverage of Jannik Sinner’s victory over Darderi at the Australian Open. By early afternoon, the focus shifted to a dual diplomatic escalation. Editors highlighted the government’s ultimatum to Switzerland regarding the Crans-Montana probe and an urgent summons of the Israeli ambassador following reports of an armed settler threatening Italian Carabinieri in the West Bank. Domestic political friction also emerged over the possible presence of ICE agents at the Milano-Cortina Olympics. The evening headlines were dominated by the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old Moroccan man by plainclothes police in Milan’s Rogoredo district. As reports confirmed the victim brandished a starter pistol, editorial narratives polarized: conservative outlets emphasized the threat to officers, while mainstream media focused on the immediate opening of an investigation into the agent who fired.
