Dodgers ask ICE agents to leave Dodger Stadium parking lot - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers organization said Thursday that it asked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to leave the Dodger Stadium grounds after they arrived at a parking lot near one of the gates.

Dozens of federal agents with their faces covered arrived in SUVs and cargo vans to a lot near the stadium's Gate E entrance. A group of protesters carrying signs against ICE started amassing shortly after, local media reported.

«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,» the Dodgers said in a statement posted on X.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the agents were not trying to enter the stadium.

«This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. [Customs and Border Protection] vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement,» McLaughlin said in an email

The team said Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres will be played as planned.

Television cameras showed about four agents remained at the lot Thursday afternoon while officers with the Los Angeles Police Department stood between them and dozens of protesters, some carrying signs that read «I Like My Ice Crushed» and chanting «ICE out of LA!»

Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez arrived at the stadium and said she had been in communication with Dodger officials and the mayor's office.

«We've been in communication with the mayor's office, with the Dodgers, with Dodgers security, about seeing if they can get them moved off their private property,» she told KABC-TV. «Public property is different. Private property — businesses and corporations have the power to say, 'Not on my property,'
