A line of unmarked white vans and SUVs at Dodger Stadium sparked a wave of speculation online about immigration enforcement at the stadium Thursday, but team officials say the agents were denied entry.<\/p>\n
In photos posted on social media Thursday morning, the vehicles appeared to be staging near the downtown parking lot entrance to the stadium, which drew several dozen protestors to the area. <\/p>\n
The group gathered downhill from the agents, who stood around three unmarked SUVs closer to the stadium\u2019s entry gates but still outside the stadium parking lot.<\/p>\n
Five agents \u2014 several covering their faces with gaiters and armed with pistols \u2014 stood between the vehicles. They did not wear identifying items or badges. When asked by a Times reporter which agency they were with, they said \u201cDHS\u201d and declined to comment further.<\/p>\n
The scene sparked a wave of speculation online and among the protesters about where the white vans photographed hours earlier in the same spot had gone. Occasionally, a protester walked up to the agents to record their vehicles on video, only to be told to back away or face arrest.<\/p>\n
Eventually, police came to the scene and the agents drove away. The crowd of several dozen dispersed by the afternoon.<\/p>\n

They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight\u2019s game will be played as scheduled,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n But both the Department of Homeland Security and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials took to social media to clarify Thursday\u2019s events.<\/p>\n Responding to the team\u2019s post on social media, ICE posted on X: \u201cFalse. We were never there.\u201d<\/p>\n The Department of Homeland Security, meanwhile, said it was Customs and Border Patrol agents who were at the stadium, but not for an operation.<\/p>\n \u201cThis had nothing to do with the Dodgers. [U.S. Customs and Border Patrol] vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n A Los Angeles Police Department source denied that the department received a request from the Dodgers to remove federal agents from the stadium grounds. Federal agents had gathered near the stadium to conduct a briefing, but had left by the time images of the gathering began circulating on social media, the source said.<\/p>\n The Dodgers did, however, ask police to intervene after a group of protesters showed up to the area, according to the source, who requested anonymity in order to discuss internal matters.<\/p>\n Among those outside the stadium were members of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, or CHIRLA.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that these raids continue is what we Angelenos should be very concerned about,\u201d said CHIRLA member Jorge-Mario Cabrera, who was in contact with fellow members monitoring activity at the stadium Thursday. \u201cDodger stadium is a place where Angeleno families come and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n The parking lot is jointly owned by the Dodgers\u2019 ownership group and the team\u2019s former owner, billionaire Frank McCourt.<\/p>\n The Dodgers have been under pressure since the raids began this month to make a statement in support of immigrants. On Wednesday, the team said it intended to announce plans Thursday to assist the immigrant communities recently affected in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Singer and social media personality Nezza sang a Spanish version of the national anthem at Dodger Stadium in an act of protest against the immigration raids, despite being asked by a team employee to sing in English.<\/p>\n Staff writers Libor Jany, Andrew Campa and Bill Shaikin contributed to this report.<\/p>\n and integrate them seamlessly into the new content without adding new Write an article about Federal agents denied entry to Dodger Stadium parking lot, team says .Organize the content with appropriate headings and subheadings (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6), Retain any existing tags from A line of unmarked white vans and SUVs at Dodger Stadium sparked a wave of speculation online about immigration enforcement at […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17159","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-education"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/c08699e\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/6000x3150+0+425\/resize\/1200x630!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F32%2F76%2F3f5bd615422b9580375ed22583b1%2F1511083-me-ice-action-dodger-stadium009-mjc.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17159"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17159"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17161,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17159\/revisions\/17161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} tags.
