After facing mounting pressure to speak out, the Los Angeles Dodgers have announced a $1 million commitment to support immigrant families affected by recent federal immigration raids across Southern California.
The announcement, made Friday after a day-long delay prompted by the presence of federal agents at the team’s stadium, marks the Dodgers’ first public response to the growing backlash.
“In partnership with the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Dodgers have committed $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region,” read the beginning of the organization’s statement.
