The impromptu showdown elicited a wave of responses online and among activists in the streets of Los Angeles. What happened in front of the stadium and why are some fans cheering the action? Los Angeles Dodgers refuse entry to ICE agents at Dodger Stadium on June 19 On June 19, 2025, early morning, a fleet of unmarked vans carrying ICE agents linked to Donald Trump 's administration pulled up near Dodger Stadium. The agents sought permission to access the parking lots but were told 'no' by the Dodgers organization. Within minutes, dozens of protestors who oppose immigration raids gathered outside the gates in response. While ICE later denied being there, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) clarified the vehicles belonged to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and were not on enforcement duty. The Dodgers president Stan Kasten confirmed the team's stance on X (formerly Twitter), stating the request was official and the team denied access. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Born 1941-1979 Receive 55 Benefits This Month if They Ask WalletJump Learn More Undo Los Angeles police then facilitated a safe departure for agents amid the crowd presence.

Left stages protest in Ballari condemning attacks on Palestine and Iran
On the occasion of National Communal Harmony Day, various Left parties staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office in Ballari, condemning the 'imperialist aggression' against Palestine and Iran. The demonstration strongly denounced the alleged massacre being carried out by Israel in Gaza with the support of the United States, as well as the recent bombing of Iran. Protesters urged the Indian government to oppose the war-mongering policies of the United States and Israel and to adopt an unequivocal anti-war stance. Addressing the gathering, district secretary of SUCI(C) S. Radhakrishna Upadhya said that creating conflict zones across the globe to sell arms and increase profits is the business model of American capitalists. 'U.S. President Donald Trump represents these capitalist interests. Facing an economic crisis, the United States seeks revival through artificial means like war. To counter this war-hungry agenda of America, Israel and other imperialist nations, global anti-war and workers movements must be intensified to push back against imperialist designs,' he said. CPI(M) district secretary Satyababu stated that Israel, emboldened by U.S. support, has been conducting barbaric bombing campaigns on Gaza for the past two years, violating ceasefire agreements. 'Schools, hospitals, and mosques have been targeted and over 55,000 Palestinian civilians, including a large number of women and children, have been killed. Now, it has launched airstrikes on Iran, killing several 'key figures',' he said. Veteran trade union leader T.G. Vitthal remarked that the BJP-led Union government aligned itself with the interests of the U.S. and Israel, thereby undermining India's anti-imperialist legacy rooted in the freedom movement. Many labour leaders, including Pramod, A. Devadas, Chandra Kumari, Guru Murthy, Somashekhar Gowda, Shanta, Nagarathna and Hanumappa, participated in the agitation.
