L.A. Dodgers Say They Turned Away ICE Agents As Leftist Protesters Gather At Stadium

The Los Angeles Dodgers say they turned away ICE agents hoping to use their grounds as a staging area for enforcement operations as left-wing protesters gathered out in front of Dodger Stadium.

The Major League Baseball franchise issued a statement denying claims from left-wing activists that it was allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to use the stadium grounds.

This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots,” the Dodgers posted to social media Thursday. “They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

The statement came as left-wing organizations shared images of what appear to be federal law enforcement vehicles on the stadium grounds and gathered for a protest out front of the park.

“Dozens of ICE vehicles posted up at Dodgers Stadium Gate E. Folks are suspecting that they may be bringing people here after conducting raids,” one left-wing group said on social media, calling the federal law enforcement agents “fascist pigs.”

Local media similarly reported that dozens of ICE agents had been seen staging on the stadium grounds before the Dodgers requested that they leave.

The same activist group shared videos online of leftist protesters gathering at one of the entrances to the park, with a row of Los Angeles Police Officers preventing them from entering the park. Some protesters directed their ire at the baseball franchise for allegedly cooperating with the federal law enforcement agents.

The protest at the park comes amid sustained public unrest in the southern California city, with left-wing rioters attacking police officers and destroying property as organizers distributed riot gear to the agitators.

Some protesters have even gathered outside of hotels housing ICE agents as they called for the federal agents to be kicked out of their rooms. A local branch of the Democratic Party even shared the location of ICE agents and mobilized protesters at their hotels, The Daily Wire revealed.
