“Ice agents are taking up positions at the entrances to Dodger Stadium, media and crowd beginning to arrive,” Takumi wrote.
Jack Harris, the Dodgers beat writer for the Los Angeles Times, said on X: “Regarding the photos going around on social media this morning about ICE agents at Dodger Stadium: sources say ICE agents tried to access Dodger Stadium today, but were denied entry to the grounds by the team.”"

So the Nazis showed up on America's Juneteenth sacred holiday to commit their vile acts. And failed.
Reviewing who stopped the Nazis, we see the following snippets from the article:
sources say Ice agents tried to access Dodger Stadium today, but were denied entry to the grounds by the team.”
And:
Another journalist, Fabian Ardaya, who covers the Dodgers for the Athletic, wrote: “Ice agents attempted to access Dodger Stadium this morning but were denied by the Dodgers.
Nice that the Dodgers are standing up against the Nazis!
It's worthwhile noting what prompted the scumbags to leave:
A source told the newspaper that federal agents met near Dodger stadium for a briefing but departed when photos of their meeting started to spread on social media.
Basically, taking videos of them while standing on public property and keeping a safe distance from them is the way to go.
We're catching on.
Dear reader, see you on the street on July 17! Let's make some good trouble together.
And that was a lie. They provided the space for them for two weeks until protestors showed up. Then they got concerned and revoked the access. There was no flat out denial. They let ICE in.
Ah, so these are people impersonating ice agents, by uh, dressing in plain clothes and driving unmarked vehicles? Maybe if they should have uniforms or something
They need a warrant to access the private property of a citizen. The dodgers benefit from media attention and a lot of money for a legal battle if needed.
Baseball in some ways is one of the better parts of US americana, what I consider to be the most " 'Murican" architecture I have ever been in isn't any of the capitol buildings or historic monuments I have visited in the US or any museums, it is by far and away Fenway in Boston (The Red Sox's stadium). My dad was heavy into baseball, I don't feel that strongly about it but that building has given me goosebumps every time I have been in it.
Glad in this moment baseball didn't choose to shit on that legacy (though a checkered legacy it is).
