The Los Angeles Dodgers caved to community pressure and committed $1 million in financial aid to migrant families impacted by ICE raids in the city.
The MLB franchise announced the donation Friday — just one day after the reigning World Series Champs crowed about turning ICE agents away from the stadium parking lot over bogus claims of an attempted gameday immigration bust.
“What’s happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected,” Stan Kasten, President and CEO of the Dodgers, said in a release.
“We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles,” Kasten concluded.
On Thursday, the Dodgers made political relations hay for their Los Angeles fans by announcing they had sent ICE agents attempting to enter the stadium packing.
“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the ground by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled,” the team announced in a viral post on X.
The Department of Homeland Security was quick to pushback against the organization’s grandstanding.
“This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement,” the agency wrote on X.

If a sports team ever donated money to a pro-life cause, to a guns right group, to their families of the people on January 6– then the media would say stay out of politics
That’s right.
I share your opinion. The opinions of anyone who plays children’s games for money are as valueless as those who pay money to watch grown men play children’s games
In the past twelve months the Dodgers:
1- insulted Catholics with their trans singing nun skit during “pride” month last year...
2- had a chick sing the National Anthem- in spanish
3- giving illegals $1 million to fight ICE...
F- them!!!
We need to boycott all of it, but we won't. Far too many of us want our entertainment too much to give it up.
"The L.A. Dodgers...Proud Supporters of La Raza"...........maybe they should think about playing the mejican national anthem at their games since those seem to be the people they are most interested in instead of Americans and legal immigrants who came to America to be Americans.
Just one more sports team that Americans and legal immigrants should shun.
I’ve always felt baseball wasn’t really a sport, but an insomnia cure. The best napping you can do is by putting on a baseball game in the background. I’ve never understood how the people at the stadium aren’t all asleep.
It’s a fundamentally boring game.
How to destroy a sports franchise 101
How do you say “danegeld” in Spanish?
“...after the reigning World Series Champs crowed about turning ICE agents away from the stadium parking lot over bogus claims of an attempted gameday immigration bust.”

Ummmm....how can you turn ICE agents away from enforcing federal laws? Whoever dares to block their enforcement should be in handcuffs followed by a lengthy prison sentence.
If Americans were turned away from the welfare offices and forced to get a job, they wouldn’t have all this time to be entertained by America-hating minorities and foreigners living in America illegally.
I beg to differ. Even at FR many are fine with supporting people who hate us for the sake of being entertained by them.
by America-hating minorities and foreigners living in America illegally.
There are many white Americans among them, and many patriots among the minorities. Trump couldn't have won without them.
Baseball organizations find 1,000,000 in their couch cushions.
That’s a pretty weak shake down.
Just shut down the stadium. Park ICE vans all over the area and just walk about talking to folks. The criminals will run off, like a raid on a CostCo parking lot.
I’ve heard through the grapevine that the Doggies are considering a Bring Your U.S. Senator or favorite District Judge To the Game night. Everyone gets a free autographed picture of Karen BAss and a coupin for a free Street Bureeto at the DNC’s Street Taco truck sponsored by the U.S. Senate Democrats located at the MS-13 VIP parking lot.
Sounds to me like the Mexican cartel made the LA Doggies an
“offer” they couldn’t refuse. Put up some money or we’ll “off” your butt.
CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED AIDING & ABETTING???
DID DODGER PLAYERS GROW UP WORKING HARD AT THEIR CRAFT TO SEE THEIR TEAM CAVE TO ILLEGAL INVADERS????
WAS THAT THEIR LIFE LONG DREAM???
WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER DODGER GAME-—
NEVER—EVER
Ticket prices: ILLEGALS Free... Americans $999... (And that's for the cheap seats)
Ticket prices for today’s game - $117 to $1,968.
I never did like the Dodgers,and I like them even less now.
