Los Angeles Dodgers said on Thursday that the team had denied US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) agents admitted because of the ballpark.
The team said the agents had “requested permission to access the parking spaces,” but a spokesman for ICE said in an E email to Pakinomist Digital that “Ice was never at Dodgers Stadium and therefore never tried to access.”
Law enforcement was discovered outside Dodger Stadium earlier Thursday, which is believed to be ice.

Protesters walked towards Dodger Stadium shortly after the official’s presence.
“Get these fascist F — ing pigs out of our city,” an account wrote on X.
Another account wrote that “support” was “necessary” and prayed “massemobilization” to the gate e of the ballpark.
The team is expected to make a message later Thursday that they will help the immigrant communities. The team has been silent on protests and riots around the city.
The team was recently in a conundrum with local singer Nessa, who recently performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Spanish Saturday as a form of protest against ice attacks in the city.
She said she has since received death threats, but the support of Latin celebrities “triple confirmed” to her that “what I did was right.”
However, veteran supplier Enrique Hernández made a social media post on Saturday night before the game about the protests.

“I may not have been born and raised, but this city adopted me as one of their own,” Hernández wrote on Instagram. “I am sad and annoyed at what is happening in our country and our city. Los Angeles and Dodger Fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love. This is my second home. And I can’t stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and torn apart.
“All people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights. #Cityofimmigrants.”
Other Los Angeles-based professional sports teams have taken an attitude, including NWSLS Angely City FC, which gave fans “immigrant City Football Club” T-shirts on their game on Saturday. Players were also seen warming with T-shirts on before their fight to show support to those who protested.

Nezza’s Spanish rendering of the hymn came on the day of several “no kings” protests who were in response to the Washington military parade, DC, who coincided with president Donald Trumps Birthday across the country.
Trump’s birthday was also a 250 -year birthday celebration of the US Army.
