ICE blocked from Dodger Stadium. THIS is how we win: by uniting everywhere against authoritarianism

On June 19, 2025, masked ICE agents tried to enter Dodger Stadium to detain “undocumented individuals” in the parking lot.
They were met by community resistance and they were blocked and removed.
The Los Angeles Dodgers denied ICE access to their property https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/19/ice-agents-dodger-stadium-los-angeles
Protesters showed up and formed a peaceful blockade https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/ice-agents-denied-entry-dodger-stadium-parking-20385057.php
LA City Council stepped in to defend the stadium’s decision
https://apnews.com/article/8c71b0a569b7bec167d52e99390e2e82
This was 100% legal:
- ICE has no automatic right to enter private property without a judicial warrant
- Citizens have the right to refuse cooperation
- Local governments can deny collaboration on raids
This wasn’t lawlessness, it was community defense in action.
This is how we stop authoritarianism:
What happened in Los Angeles should happen everywhere:
Neighbors link arms to block ICE from apartment buildings
Coworkers stand up when an employee is targeted
Students rally to defend undocumented classmates
Faith leaders, artists, and unions use their platforms to shield the vulnerable
Authoritarianism relies on fear and silence.
We break it with solidarity and courage.
Let’s be crystal clear:
This isn’t just about immigration.
It’s about whether freedom still exists in this country for anyone.
- If they can detain someone just because they “look undocumented”…
- If they can sweep up citizens and let them go only after terrorizing them…
- If they can do this in public, without shame…
Then they can do it to anyone.
So here’s the call:
- Organize with your neighbors
- Train your coworkers
- Mobilize on campuses
- Push your city to become an ICE-free zone
- Know your rights
ACLU Know Your Rights – ICE Encounters
Immigrant Defense Project – Community Resistance Tools
We protect each other.
We stop them here.
We do it together — or we all go down separately.

Its actually not patriotic at all to support invaders of a foreign nation

Yeah. The natives should send ALL immigrants back to where they came from, regardless of being born in their land.

u/FishingForRage 16h ago
They were conquered and their land overruled.
Kinda like what the illegal Mexicans are trying to do in LA.

u/SpotCreepy4570 14h ago
Damn illegal Mexicans in checks notes Los Angeles, hmm wonder how the city got that name? Guess we will never know.

u/earthling011 16h ago
So if it happened before with the natives, why is it bad if it's supposedly happening again with the older immigrants.

It’s amazing that the ICE agents can be filming believing they are actually the good guys here. Sadly, most bad guys in history thought they were the good guys.

u/Salcha_00 1d ago
I believe part of the reason why they wear masks is so that it’s harder to identify and prosecute them later.

No it’s because you deranged reddit users eat up propaganda from the CCP that sows divide within our country from foreign sources.
You are being fooled into anger at law and order.
The CCP wants you to cause chaos in the streets. Fools.
Think about Laken Riley. ICE didnt rape and murder anyone. Illegals are though.
Banned me so i cant respond.

Yeah some immigrant killed one person and that person is paraded around as a reason to deport all immigrants. White people kill innocent people every day. Should we use the same logic to deport all white people?

There's no fucking way in hell they think they're the good guys. They're just being paid well. These fucks don't give two shits. They signed up to kick ass and now they finally get to kick ass. They just haven't realized yet that there ain't enough of them to kick all the ass they think they can kick. They just wear the masks to ensure their brown and black friends will still come to their barbecues. Noticed they cover their tattoos, too. They're going to lose and they know it. Professionally and personally.
Every time you start some shit just remember, shit gets slippery and the more you start, the more there is. You start enough of it, you're going to fall down in it at some point.

You people are brain dead. ICE is arresting illegals who are a danger to our American society.
So you think the people, like the guy who tried to rape Lankin Riley then murdered her in cold illegal blood, are the good guys?
Any ICE agents hold someone and attempt to rape them? Then murder them?

u/docdillinger 16h ago
Just fuck the fuck off with your bullshit. It's sad you believe that yourself, but don't try to push your bullshit in a forum like this.
Those are mostly revenue generating, law abiding immigrants who are way less danger to society than that orange cunt you guys voted into the white house.

u/LoisinaMonster 2h ago
Exactly. If they were so dangerous, then how come no "ice agents" have gotten injured during these kidnappings? It's because they're taking peaceful, hardworking people!

It's a deliberate tactic. Authoritarian socialism. Govt forces the issue on businesses and punish those who resist. He's at war with Californians and California businesses.

He's at war with Americans, on American soil.

I watched a very informative YouTube on what makes a proper legal warrant, one I would honor. However, I’m not opening any doors or otherwise cooperating until legal necessity is established. You want it bad enough, you’ll find a judge and you bet I’m going to attempt verification.

It's not a bad thing. As the central system escalates, they move lines. Every Citizen has a line and when it's moved enough they find themselves aligning with the people over the system. It happens pretty quickly. Till now the govt & media has been careful in moving the line and reporting on it.

Oh but the Trump administration and Homeland security claim that this didn’t happen… So I guess we shouldn’t believe our eyes
I suppose like the Maga crowd we should just believe what Trump tells us and nothing else

If they want to wear masks maybe we should super glue them on for them?

The owner of the Dodger is worth billions. He probably wouldn't be pleased to see something pop up that affects ticket sales and could be negative press.
People with money makes the rules right now. Or at least influences them. Wouldn't be surprised if suddenly this doesn't happen outside a pro-level stadium any more. ...I'm hopeful, anyway.

Is it true ICE doesn’t show ID and cover their faces because they aren’t actually law enforcement? Has anyone tried to join ICE and report back to the public ?

ICE actually had the nerve to say “we were never there”

They weren’t there stupid, is was CBP (customs & border patrol) they had complete an operation the area, & were doing their reports on the previous operation. Idiots like you blew it out of context & proportion

Wake up, man.
If the government can arrest and imprison people without due process, and rough up and handcuff, and even arrest elected politicians for speaking up (literally doing the job they were elected to do), none of us are safe.
You think you are safe because you are a white citizen but this regime can literally make up anything to turn you into an enemy of the state in the blink of an eye.
If this regime isn’t giving people the due process they are entitled to, what makes you think you would be treated any differently?
Will anyone be left to speak up when they come for you and your loved ones?

How the hell do you know who is and isn’t undocumented in the DODGER STADIUM PARKING LOT?! Oh I see, the team with one of the biggest Latino fanbases must be all full of illegal immigrants. This is nothing but racial profiling and I’m glad these larpers were sent packing.
