ICE attempts access to Dodger Stadium proper; Denied entry by ballclub ; LAPD sent in to send away Federal Agents podcast with Daniel Dullum
Los Angels Dodgers and ICE agents met at the entrance gate at Dodger Stadium Thursday before the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers game at Chavez Ravine. Federal agents were just outside the stadium at the entrances trying to gain access to the ballpark property.
There were concerns about the White House’s immigration crackdown and ICE trying to get into the Dodgers parking lot. Protesters who had been in downtown Los Angeles rushed to the scene and started yelling anti US Immigration and Customs Enforcement slogans at the federal agents at the ballpark.
The other concern going forward now is that employees, fans, US citizens, naturalized citizens, undocumented citizens, and anyone doing any business at Dodger Stadium or at any professional sports venue has got to be concerned about being arrested and deported without due process as what has been reported in the news.
