据MLB队称,随着洛杉矶反移民和海关执法抗议活动的继续,周四有数十名联邦特工出现在道奇体育场附近,但被拒绝进入这个著名的棒球场。
有人看到特工们穿着战术装备,聚集在通往体育场的街道上。
洛杉矶道奇队的官方社交媒体账户周四对X说,他们确定为ICE官员的代理人不允许进入体育场场地。
“今天早上,ICE特工来到道奇体育场,请求允许进入停车场。该组织拒绝他们进入场地。今晚的比赛将如期进行,”该组织表示。
国土安全部在X上回应说,这些官员在体育场的出现“与道奇队无关”,并说这些特工来自海关和边境保护局,而不是ICE。
“CBP的车辆在体育场停车场停留的时间很短,与任何行动或执法无关,”DHS说。
道奇斯组织面临着抗议者越来越多的批评,因为他们没有对该市发生的移民袭击事件直言不讳。
“这个地区最大的经济引擎沉默了!醒醒!做得更好!我们知道你可以!”加州崛起队的劳尔·克拉罗斯在周四的新闻发布会上指着他身后的道奇体育场说。
此前,有报道称,周四洛杉矶发生了一系列冰毒袭击事件,包括日落大道附近一家家得宝店外的一次。
当地官员告诉ABC新闻洛杉矶站KABC-TV,洛杉矶市议会第一区的工作人员向洛杉矶警察局报告了道奇体育场附近的冰上表演。
据KABC说,警察部门随后通知了道奇斯组织,据称该组织告诉ice特工离开该房产;然而,上午11点过后不久,一小组联邦特工仍在该地点
这是因为唐纳德·特朗普总统最近指示移民和海关执法局官员“尽全力”监督历史上最大规模的驱逐计划。
“为了实现这一目标,我们必须加大在洛杉矶、芝加哥和纽约等美国最大城市拘留和驱逐非法外国人的力度,这些城市有数百万非法外国人居住,”特朗普周末在一篇冗长的社交媒体帖子中写道。
根据美国国务院的数据,在特朗普第二个任期的前100天,ICE逮捕了超过66,000人联邦机构.
Los Angeles Dodgers stop federal agents from entering stadium grounds
As anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests continue in Los Angeles, dozens of federal agents were seen near Dodger Stadium on Thursday but were denied entry to the famed ballpark, according to the MLB team.
The agents were seen dressed in tactical gear and gathered on the street that leads into the stadium.
The official Los Angeles Dodgers social media account took to X on Thursday, saying that the agents, which they identified as ICE officials, were not allowed to enter the stadium grounds.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled," the organization said.
The Department of Homeland Security responded on X, saying the officers' appearance at the stadium "had nothing to do with the Dodgers," and said the agents were from Customs and Border Protection, not ICE.
"CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement," DHS said.
A small group of protesters was also seen near the stadium on Thursday as demonstrations in the city, which began on June 6, continue.
The Dodgers organization has faced growing criticism from protesters for not speaking out about the immigration raids that have been taking place in the city.
"The largest economic engine in this area is silent! Wake up! Do better! We know you can!" Raul Claros of California Rising said Thursday at a news conference, pointing to Dodger Stadium behind him.
The demonstration comes after reports of a string of ICE raids in Los Angeles on Thursday, including one outside of a nearby Home Depot on Sunset Boulevard.
Los Angeles City Council District 1 workers alerted the Los Angeles Police Department of the ICE staging near Dodger Stadium, local officials told ABC News Los Angeles station KABC-TV.
The police department then notified the Dodgers organization, which allegedly told the ICE agents to leave the property, according to KABC; however, a small group of federal agents were still at the location shortly after 11 a.m.
This comes as President Donald Trump has recently instructed ICE officers to do "all in their power" to oversee the largest mass deportation program in history.
"In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America's largest Cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside," Trump wrote in a lengthy social media post over the weekend.
ICE has made over 66,000 arrests in the first 100 days of Trump's second term, according to thefederal agency.
