The Los Angeles Dodgers said they denied Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entry to their stadium Thursday. 

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots,” the Dodgers posted on X. “They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

In photos circulated on social media, a line of unmarked white vans and SUVs at the stadium appeared to be staging near the parking lot entrance to the stadium. The Department of Homeland Security said the vehicles belonged to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and were only on location briefly in a statement posted to X.

“This had nothing to do with the Dodgers,” the post said. “CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement.”

The incident comes as violent protests against federal immigration raids continue in the city. Protests that devolved into riots prompted President Donald Trump to deploy a total of 700 U.S. Marines and 4,100 California Army National Guard to the area. 

The Dodgers are expected to announce a plan to assist the immigrant community affected by the recent immigration law enforcement operations Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Times. The team will host the San Diego Padres for a game Thursday night.
