The Los Angeles Dodgers, known for their substantial Latino fan base, have been under fire for their silence regarding Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. However, the legendary baseball team has finally broken their silence with a bold move.
In the face of devastating immigration-related events, the Dodgers are stepping up to support the affected families with a whopping $1 million donation. The team's official statement confirmed the funds were to aid families who have been hit hard by these recent turbulent times.
Initially, the Dodgers faced criticism for their apathy, as their silence echoed in the face of massive protests sparked by Trump's immigration crackdown and ICE's unyielding tactics in Los Angeles. Just yesterday, the Dodgers denied ICE officers permission to enter their stadium.
Dodgers President Stan Kasten spoke out, affirming, "The ongoing events have stirred up thousands, and we've heard the call to take a leading role on behalf of those affected. We aim to support and uplift the Greater Los Angeles communities by providing resources and taking action."
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass lauded the move, stating, "I want to thank the Dodgers for their support of the immigrant community of Los Angeles with this action. These past weeks have sent shockwaves of fear through every neighborhood and affected our economy."
