LOS ANGELES \u2014 The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Thursday they blocked federal immigration agents from entering their stadium as dozens of anti-ICE protesters gathered outside the sports venue.
On social media<\/a>, the MLB team said that federal agents working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrived at the stadium and “requested permission to access the parking lots.”
“They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization,” the Dodgers said, adding that their game against the Padres will go on at the stadium as scheduled.
Demonstrators standing outside the stadium’s gates were seen holding signs and chanting “ICE out of L.A.” and “ICE go home” as several dark SUV vehicles stood on the opposite side of the road. Some of the federal agents appeared to be wearing Homeland Security uniforms.
The federal agents who showed up in those vehicles were turned away from entering the stadium gates, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
It was not immediately clear whether or how their presence was connected to immigration operations that were reported around the city Thursday, the sources said.
Eunisses Hernandez, a Los Angeles City Council member, told NBC Los Angeles<\/a> that the federal agents were first seen outside the stadium early in the morning.
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to figure out what\u2019s going on,\u201d she said early Thursday afternoon. <\/strong>\u201cThey haven\u2019t left yet.\u201d
Los Angeles police were called in, Hernandez said. They arrived in tactical gear at around 2:25 p.m. ET and started moving protesters out of the way.
Sources told NBC News that the Dodgers have cooperated with law enforcement in the past, letting them use parking lots around the stadium for staging purposes.
\u201cBusinesses and corporations have the power to say, ‘Not on my property,’ so we\u2019re waiting to see that movement happen here,\u201d Hernandez said.
As anti-ICE demonstrations raged across Los Angeles this month, many residents have called on the Dodgers to support immigrant communities.
The defending World Series champs reportedly have plans<\/a> to announce a sweeping new initiative to assist immigrant communities impacted by recent ICE raids.
One of their star players, Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez, released a statement this week<\/a> to show his support.
\u201cI am saddened and infuriated by what\u2019s happening in our country and our city,” the statement reads. “I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused, and ripped apart. All people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and human rights.\u201d
