Dodgers say immigration agents denied entry to Los Angeles stadium

In response to ongoing protests against immigration enforcement in the city, the Los Angeles Dodgers claim to have prevented federal agents from entering their stadium on Thursday.

The baseball team claimed in a social media post that “ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to enter the parking lots,” and that they were later denied entry.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been conducting extensive searches in Los Angeles to find and deport undocumented immigrants.

The agents’ presence at the stadium “had nothing to do with the Dodgers,” according to the Department of Homeland Security’s statement.

According to DHS, “CBP vehicles were only briefly in the stadium parking lot and without any operation or enforcement.” Why the officials were present at the stadium is a mystery.

According to US media reports, Dodgers are expected to announce that they will assist immigrants who have experienced the city’s raids.

Although no specifics have been made public, the raids would be the team’s first official response.

Dodgers player Kiké Hernández expressed his anger over the raids taking place in Los Angeles on Instagram, saying that he was “saddened and infuriated by what’s happening in our country and our city.”

“This is my second home,” I said. And I don’t want to see our neighborhood being abused, profiled, abused, and ripped apart, he said.

President Donald Trump has made a number of immigration-related policies, including the crackdown in Los Angeles.

Trump has ordered 700 US Marines and 4, 000 National Guard personnel to the Los Angeles area to help with the federal response to the unrest following the move’s widespread protests.

The administration has been disappointed by the pace of the raids in America’s second-largest city, and the raids are taking place in response to an aggressive campaign to increase the number of arrests and deportations.

Meanwhile, White House border czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that the Trump administration would resume worksite immigration raids.

“We’re going to continue conducting worksite enforcement operations, including on farms and in hotels, but on a prioritized basis,” the message is clear. According to Homan, “crimes come first.”
