Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Thursday staged in large numbers near Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. But later, only a small number remained, as local media reports indicated that ICE had been blocked from entry to the stadium.
One social media post indicated, “Currently here at Dodger Stadium where a few ice agents are left straggling. Earlier this morning there were a few dozen agents doing a staging with multiple vans parked around.”
Another said, “Sources say ICE agents tried to access Dodger Stadium today, but were denied entry to the grounds by the team.”
Dodgers Nation reported that the Major League Baseball club was set to announce that it would be initiating a program of support for local immigrant communities impacted by recent ICE enforcement in the area.
In advance of the potential club announcement, Dodgers utility man Kiki Hernandez posted that he was “infuriated” with what he had seen. “Los Angeles and Dodger fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love.”
Hernandez said something needed to change. “This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.”
