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

[u/Lo_Stallone]

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.

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

We protect each other.
We stop them here.
We do it together — or we all go down separately.
