Trump orders the ice to expel more illegal immigrants in LA in Chicago
President Trump has ordered the ice to implement the “largest deportation program in history” by expanding its activities in the Democrat-led cities.
LOS ANGELES – In a simmering dispute, the Los Angeles Dodgers say immigrants and customs enforcement agents have been denied entry to the stadium grounds – Ice says the agency “never is there” and the Department of Homeland Security claims masked agents are customs and border patrols.
Who’s here without a doubt: One of many people gathering outside the stadium for hours before the Dodgers face the San Diego Padres on June 19th.
Aguilar, a lifelong Dodgers fan who says he was born and raised in Los Angeles, stood near a corner intersection near Dodger Stadium five hours before the team’s game. And three hours before the Dodgers’ silence triggered a scheduled protest amidst the attack and anxiety of immigrants in Los Angeles.
“Please at least make a statement,” said Aguilar, 72, from his home about two miles from the stadium.
Aguilar held the sign saying “Dodger Boo” instead of “Dodger Blue” and rang out as many drivers passed.
Aguilar said he was old enough to remember when Latinos were kicked out of the Chavez Valley area in the 1950s to give way to the construction of a crucial Dodger Stadium to seduce his team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles.
“I still love them, but I say something,” Aguilar said. “Especially this day in June. We are standing on the shoulders of Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez.”
But even if the driver rings in clear support of Aguilar’s message, he said, “Whether (the team) says something or not, people will still be fans of the Dodgers.”
He was included.
LOS ANGELES – About 100 protesters outside Dodger Stadium disrupt traffic before the team’s game, urging more than 20 police officers to head to the scene.
At one point, protesters spread electric scooters at an intersection near the entrance and temporarily stopped traffic. Police closed the gates and redirected traffic to another entrance, but they tried to control the situation.
There were several tense standoffs between protesters and police officers, but no known arrests were found at 8pm.
Meanwhile, protesters maintained their chants, including “boycotting the Dodgers.”
The Dodgers’ silence over the Los Angeles protest was a protest sparked by an immigrant raid that burned crowds on Thursday night.
“If the Dodgers can’t say anything, I think we can,” Dodgers fan Amanda Carrera, 31, told USA Today Sports.
The police officers calmly removed the scooter and seemed untroubled by the chant. But things got even more nervous when some people remained on the crosswalk.
“I’ll get out of the street and move,” cried the officer. The protesters leaned over the officer and cried out, but at that moment it didn’t escalate any further.
By 7:50 points, protests outside Dodger Stadium had dropped to about two dozen.
But not everyone in the crowd was a fan of those trying to block traffic.
“Such protesters ruin the cause,” Carrera said. “It’s the people who cause problems.”
LOS ANGELES – The Dodgers were supposed to announce a “plan to support the immigrant community,” but club president Stan Kasten said the organization will delay the announcement after federal agents appear.
“For today’s event, we continue to work with the groups involved in the program,” Kasten said in a statement, according to the Los Angeles Times. “But we need to delay today’s announcement while solidifying the details.”
Amanda Carrera said she was the singer who wrote the song called “Dodger Girl,” but arrived with a sign saying she was “prideful to be a Latina.”
“As much more I love my people than I love the Dodgers,” Carrera (31) said.
Graffiti artists left the organization clearly targeting the perception of silence, in protests with messages such as “stop,” “LA is our home,” and “silence is the issue,” leaving them close to the ballpark that they were clearly targeting the organization.
The time leading up to the game was a fan of Dodger Stadium holding a megaphone.
One masked protester outside the stadium held signs of reading “Kiké Forever” with reference to the longtime Dodgers utility man who became the first active player to oppose immigrant raids in Instagram posts in both English and Spanish.
“I may have been born and raised, but the city adopted me as one of their own. I am saddened and angry about what is going on in our country and in our city. The fans of Los Angeles and the Dodger welcomed me, supported me, showed nothing but kindness and love,” Hernandez wrote.
“This is my second home. And we can’t see our community being violated, profiled, abused and torn apart. All people deserve respect, dignity and human rights.
Hernández won World Series titles in 2020 and 2024, spending nine seasons with the Dodgers in two stints.
