LA Dodgers Commit $1 Million For Assistance For Families Of Immigrants Affected By ICE Raids

📰 Dodgers Donate $1 Million to Help Immigrant Families Affected by ICE Raids
The Los Angeles Dodgers have pledged $1 million to support immigrant families in the LA area who were directly affected by recent immigration raids conducted by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

This money will go toward nonprofit groups that offer emergency relief — including food, rent assistance, mental health support, and legal help — to families disrupted by these enforcement actions.

Organizations like the California Community Foundation and the LA County Federation of Labor will help distribute the funds.

Team President Stan Kasten emphasized the Dodgers’ desire to give back to the community and respond to the fear and disruption caused by these raids.

Dodgers Block ICE From Using Stadium Lot
The team also made headlines for denying federal agents access to Dodger Stadium’s parking lot, an incident that drew public scrutiny. The Dodgers clarified that they were not informed in advance of the visit and chose to protect their community space. Federal sources later said the agents were from Customs and Border Protection, not ICE, and were not conducting an arrest operation.

Reactions & Broader Context
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass praised the Dodgers’ action, calling it a strong example of how institutions can support vulnerable communities.

Prominent voices in sports, including former Dodger Jaime Jarrín, backed the move, applauding the team for standing with immigrants.

The donation comes amid a wave of immigration enforcement across LA since early June, with dozens detained and widespread protests erupting in response.

This move makes the Dodgers one of the first major sports franchises to take concrete action in response to immigration raids, focusing not on political statements but direct help for families in distress.
