Los Angeles Dodgers Deny Immigration Agents Access Stadium Grounds

The Los Angeles Dodgers barred U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from accessing their stadium parking lot amid a new wave of immigration raids in Los Angeles. The Dodgers issued a statement confirming they denied ICE entry and assured that their scheduled game would proceed as planned, responding to the concerns of their heavily Latino fan base and activists protesting immigration enforcement. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security denied conducting an enforcement operation at the stadium, claiming any presence of border patrol vehicles was unrelated to the Dodgers. The incident reflects the Trump administration's intensified immigration and deportation tactics, with sports venues increasingly becoming focal points of contention. Dodgers player Kike Hernández publicly condemned the raids, expressing his support for the immigrant community affected by these actions. Protesters gathered at the stadium site demanding an end to immigration raids, highlighting the ongoing tension between immigration authorities and community allies in LA.
