  • Dozens of federal agents, many with obscured faces and in tactical gear, were using the stadium exterior as a meeting point before deploying into surrounding neighborhoods.
  • Los Angeles elected officials alerted the stadium to the federal presence, leading the Dodgers organization to deny entry and issue a statement confirming they asked the agents to leave.
  • The incident occurred amidst ongoing ICE raids in Los Angeles, which have sparked widespread protests, leading the President to mobilize federal troops to the city.
