The police forces identified outside the Dodger Stadium earlier Thursday were initially considered to be ice, which prompted demonstrators on the site. But, in a press release after the denial of ICE, customs and border protection (CBP) of the United States said that “CBP vehicles were very briefly in the stadium car park” and that “had nothing to do with the dodgers”.
Vehicles on stadium terrains were “not linked to any operation or application,” said a CBP spokesperson in a statement.
Dodgers have promised $ 1 million to help families affected by ice arrests.
The team published a statement announcing the commitment on Friday, adding that money will go “to direct financial assistance for the families of immigrants affected by recent events in the region”.
“We believe that by initiating resources and taking measures, we will continue to support and raise the communities of the Grand Los Angeles.”
The Dodgers refused to comment on Saturday demonstrations when they were contacted by PK Press Club Digital.
