Federal agents blocked from entering LA Dodgers stadium
LA Dodgers deny ICE agents entry into baseball stadium
- U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents were observed staging near Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium, prompting the property owners to request their departure.
- Dozens of federal agents, many with obscured faces and in tactical gear, were using the stadium exterior as a meeting point before deploying into surrounding neighborhoods.
- Los Angeles elected officials alerted the stadium to the federal presence, leading the Dodgers organization to deny entry and issue a statement confirming they asked the agents to leave.
- The incident occurred amidst ongoing ICE raids in Los Angeles, which have sparked widespread protests, leading the President to mobilize federal troops to the city.
- an LAPD spokesperson told local news there has been no protester arrests since Saturday, attributing this to a curfew and crime prevention efforts that have reduced violent encounters between federal agents and protesters.
