The Los Angeles Dodgers made headlines in 2025 for their on-field success, winning back-to-back World Series. However, the team also found itself in the middle of off-field controversies, including a statement denying access to ICE agents, which was later confirmed to be false by the agency.
Donation to Pro-Immigration Groups
As part of their efforts to signal their support for illegal immigrants, the team announced a donation to pro-immigration groups, which was recently confirmed by the Los Angeles Times to be $1.1 million. The donation was made to the California Community Foundation and Labor Community Services, organizations that support illegal immigrants and provide them with a pathway to citizenship.
The California Community Foundation established a new fund in 2025 to support LA County NGOs, citing immigration raids as a humanitarian crisis. The Labor Community Services organization also provides support to illegal immigrants, using the term undocumented immigrants in their statements.
The Dodgers’ ownership group has been criticized for being overwhelmed by left-wing politics, despite primary owner Mark Walter’s estimated net worth of $15.5 billion. The team’s decision to donate to pro-immigration groups has been seen as an attempt to receive praise from the political left and local far-left sportswriters.
