The Los Angeles Dodgers tried to play the role of Tommy Toughnuts, saying they stopped Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from entering their property. It sure made some Democrats happy, but there’s a problem. It’s fake news, and ICE wasn’t near the stadium. “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots,” the Dodgers account tweeted. “They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization.”
Not true, Dodgers—it was U.S. Customs and Border Protection (via ABC 7 LA):

I just talked with CBP sources with knowledge of what happened today at Dodger Stadium:
CBP teams went to Hollywood Home Depot to make apprehensions. They did, they were going to transfer them to transport vans off Sunset Blvd, but when things escalated outside of Home Depot they went to an open parking lot at Dodger Stadium to make the consolidated transfer. Agents say no one came over and told them to leave.
Federal immigration agents were seen staging near Dodger Stadium in Elysian Park on Thursday morning amid reports of more raids being conducted throughout Los Angeles County.
Dozens of federal agents in SUVs and cargo vans, most wearing tactical gear with their faces covered, gathered near the Gate E entrance before heading out to various locations in the area.
They didn’t need to say anything; what a trainwreck. And this is why you keep your mouth shut when you don’t know what’s happening, Dodgers. You tried to make a play—it was a groundout.
Also, the notion that you couldn't stop a raid on your property is laughable. If ICE wants to go on, they'll get in. Stop with these games.

The Department of Homeland Security responded to the Dodgers' post on X, saying, "This had nothing to do with the Dodgers."
"CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement."

Before Thursday morning, the Dodgers organization had drawn criticism on social media for not commenting on the ongoing federal immigration enforcement actions in the L.A. area.

This fake story is all over sports media, and the faux outrage is just laughable. Because the libs and bleeding hearts didn't read what actually transpired.
You can't hate the legacy media enough...
