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.

The same team who paid tribute to a group of perverts pretending to be nuns.
California has sealed its fate in becoming another poor Latin American country!
Don’t come off cheap, Dodger Blue. You have a reputation to protect, and quite a bit of guilt being a hugely successful franchise on latino land.
$30 million.
Just shut the frig up and play your silly little ball game. I’ve had enough of you sport freaks and your ill-informed opinions.
There you go. Those team members should walk their talk.
Next they should give cash to the “poop on the streets community”...
Right!! As I recall, they had to move that “event” to earlier in the day instead of right before the baseball game.
Seems as though it would be however, Democrat government has been aiding and abetting, (heck!), enticing illegals and using taxpayer dollars to do it and not one thing has been done about that.
yeah, except the annoiting of Emporer Trump.
That’s because so many illegal aliens regularly attend Dodger games right? The Dodgers are scumbags for turning against America. Boycott them.

MLB is aiding and abetting child trafficking.

“...MLB’s international viewership saw an +18% increase, as regular season games were played in Korea, Mexico City and London last year...”
They had to do something to relieve the boredom of, yawn, baseball.
