Immigrant Leaders Urge LA Dodgers Publicly Oppose ICE Raids

Immigrant rights leaders and a coalition of over 50 community, labor, and faith organizations have urged the Los Angeles Dodgers to publicly denounce ongoing ICE raids targeting immigrant families in Los Angeles. The leaders highlighted the devastating impact on children who return home to find their parents detained and called on the Dodgers to support immigrant integration efforts and ensure no team property is used for immigration enforcement. The Dodgers recently denied federal agents access to Dodger Stadium's parking lot, clarifying that agents present were from Customs and Border Protection and not directly connected to the team. Although the Dodgers postponed announcing planned support initiatives for immigrant communities amid these tensions, only player Enrique Hernández has spoken out so far. The raids have sparked protests and prompted President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard and Marines to protect federal personnel, escalating local unrest. The Dodgers, with their deep Latino fan base and cultural significance in Los Angeles, face increasing pressure to take a stronger public stance against the immigration enforcement actions.
