Dodgers player claims Los Angeles being 'abused and ripped apart' amid immigration raids

Fox News correspondent Christina Coleman reports on the ‘volatile and dangerous’ situation in Los Angeles on ‘The Big Weekend Show.’

Los Angeles Dodgers player Enrique Hernandez claimed in a social media post over the weekend that the community was "being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart" amid an illegal immigration crackdown in the city and in parts of the county.

Hernandez made no mention of the violence that took place against law enforcement officers.
