The LA Dodgers said it blocked ICE agents from entering the parking lot at Dodger Stadium on Thursday morning in what appeared a defiant stand against President Donald Trump’s mission to round up suspected undocumented immigrants.
The move was hailed by some as a significant turnaround from a prominent organization that so far had had little to say publicly about Trump’s crackdown on anti-ICE protests in downtown Los Angeles, that had seen not just the National Guard deployed – over the head of California’s governor – but also US Marines.
