Stan Kasten holds World Series trophy at Dodger Stadium
The Los Angeles Dodgers, in collaboration with the city of Los Angeles and local organizations, are reportedly providing $1 million to support immigrant families affected by recent federal raids. The decision follows protests and a confrontation at Dodger Stadium involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The Dodgers claimed that ICE agents were denied access to stadium parking lots, but ICE denied being there.
