Team says Ice agents ‘requested permission to access parking lots’ but ‘were denied entry by the organization’

The Los Angeles Dodgers said on Thursday they denied US immigration enforcement agents access to the parking lot at Dodger Stadium earlier in the day.

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots,” the team said in a post on X.

“They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Several local journalists had spotted dozens of DHS vehicles, with masked officers, near Dodger Stadium on Thursday morning. The agents refused to tell a Los Angeles Times reporter why they were there.
