National anthem singer launches incendiary ICE protest at Dodgers game... before it all ends in tears

Singer Nezza has claimed the LA Dodgers tried to stop her singing a Spanish rendition of the American national anthem Saturday night, before she stunningly defied their request as a show of solidarity with ICE protestors in the city.

Nezza, whose real name is Vanessa Hernandez, planned the poignant tribute on the day of 'No Kings' protests across the United States over Donald Trump's controversial immigration policies, which comes after a week of unrest in Los Angeles.

Yet much to her dismay, she was told by the Dodgers to perform the anthem in English ahead of their game against the San Francisco Giants.

In a shocking post on TikTok, the R&B artist shared a clip of what she says was a Dodgers official, from off-camera, telling her that she was required to forget the sing the anthem in English.

'We are going to do the song in English today,' the woman can be heard saying in the footage, to which Nezza looks visibly surprised.

However, the clip goes on to show her defying the request at Dodger Stadium.

'Watch the Dodgers tell me I can't sing the Spanish Star-Spangled Banner that Roosevelt literally comissioned in 1945,' she captioned the post. 'So I did it anyway,' she added as an extra comment when the video eventually shows her singing on the field.

Because they were in on it. Anyone who wanted that stopped would have cut the mike.

If they intended to have it sung properly, they would have had her lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track of her own voice so she had no chance to alter what they previously approved.

ICE could probably round up a few thousand illegals at every Dodgers home game.

This hapless singer is yet another amazing exhibition of how deep the misunderstanding and confusion regarding American nationalism runs in some ethnicities and their fellow travelers.

At this point, the confused have the stage to themselves as to disrupting the day-to-day activities of the nation. Thankfully, anti-American leadership in localities at greatest risk of increasing unrest are being schooled by Trump in the proper response to mob activity.

Local leadership best follow Trump's lead and take this rioting seriously ...before the majority of real Americans become motivated to stuff the "demonstrators'" foreign flags up their confused posteriors.

I’ve been a Dodgers fan since the days when Duke Snider, Wally Moon and Larry Sherry were household names in our community. However, I may be shifting my loyalty to the Texas Rangers, who are the only unwoke team in the Major Leagues.

ICE needs to also check the status of everyone in her immediate and extended family, her staff, her dog walker, her hair dresser and everyone in her phone.

She should have been fired at the mere mention of not singing in English. Have anyone in the stands who is elementary school age come down and sing it. Let the players escort them back to their sections. It would have been much more memorable and not cost a dime to maybe (yeah, I know) keep the ticket prices down.

“Donald Trump’s controversial immigration policies”. What is controversial about enforcing the law?
