The Los Angeles Dodgers denied Immigrations and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents access to their stadium parking lot Thursday morning as protesters gathered in opposition to the federal agency's attempted presence.
Newsweek reached out to ICE, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the LA Dodgers by email on Thursday for comment.
In a message posted on X, the Dodgers wrote: "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."

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told Newsweek that the department had received a call from the Dodgers at 10:28 a.m. local time to address a crowd of protesters that was gathering in the parking lot. Members of the Northeast Division responded to the request.
The spokesperson could not speak to how big the crowd was, nor how many officers had responded to the request, but did say that the situation was ongoing and officers remain on the scene as of this afternoon.
