Dodgers Block ICE Agents From Stadium Parking Lots

The refusal highlights the club’s support for its Latino fan base in response to recent immigration enforcement operations.

Overview

  • Early Thursday morning, dozens of masked ICE agents in SUVs and cargo vans assembled near Dodger Stadium’s Gate E seeking entry to the parking lots.
  • Dodgers security barred the agents, notified the Los Angeles Police Department, and officers escorted them off the grounds as protesters chanted outside.
  • The Department of Homeland Security clarified that Customs and Border Protection vehicles were briefly on adjacent property and not part of an enforcement operation at the stadium.
  • The team confirmed that its scheduled game against the San Diego Padres would proceed as planned despite the incident.
  • The Dodgers plan to unveil initiatives this week to support immigrant communities after criticism over their response to large-scale deportation raids and troop deployments.
