LA Dodgers pledge $1 million in support of immigrants amid ICE raids

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced they will commit $1 million towards financial assistance for families of immigrants "impacted by recent events in the region."

The announcement, made on Friday, did not specify exactly what "recent events" referred to, but it comes amid ongoing federal immigration raids targeting migrants in the area, and calls from the Dodgers' fanbase for the organization to speak out against them.

"What's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected," the Dodgers president and CEO, Stan Kasten, said in a statement.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Notice they don't say ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, though it can't be construed any other way!  They're trying to cover the fact the organization is a bunch of scofflaws.  Personally, I don't support organizations who support illegal immigration, even if it is on TV. **nononono*
