Rep. Jimmy Gomez Calls On LA Dodgers To State Their Unequivocal Support For Immigrant Families in Los Angeles
Washington,
June 20, 2025
LOS ANGELES – Today, Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34), whose district includes the Dodger Stadium, called on the Los Angeles Dodgers to publicly stand with the immigrant community as ICE raids continue across the city: “In a city where nearly 36 percent of the residents are immigrants and nearly 40 percent of the team’s fan base is Latino, saying nothing is not just disappointing — it’s a betrayal and an insult. “Other teams, like Angel City FC and LAFC, have spoken out. So why haven’t they? “If the Dodgers are unsure where they stand, they need only look around the stadium on any game day at the multigenerational Latino families who have stood by this team for decades, proudly wearing Dodger blue. “I’m calling on the Dodgers and all LA sports teams to unequivocally state their support for our immigrant community and the people of Los Angeles. Silence is not an option, it’s a choice.” |
