A LOS Angeles Dodgers fan was reportedly escorted out of the stadium after unveiling a banner.
The incident came after the Major League Baseball franchise turned away federal officials from their grounds.

The Athletic’s Dodgers beat writer Fabian Ardaya posted a video on X.
It appeared to show security asking a fan to leave their seat at Dodger Stadium.
The fan was holding a banner that said “ICE out of LA.”
The incident took place during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ game with the San Diego Padres.
Earlier in the day, the Dodgers said they refused Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials access to the stadium.
Footage was shared on social media of federal agents outside Dodger Stadium on Thursday morning.
The team said in a statement, “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots.
“They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization.”
But ICE hit back at the Dodgers.
“False, we were never there,” they said in a post on X.
The Department of Homeland Security also issued a statement, claiming the officials were Customs and Border Protection officers.
“This had nothing to do with the Dodgers,” the DHS said.
“CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement.”
Anti-ICE protests were once again taking place in the city.
Protesters are unhappy with President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Raids by immigration officials have swept southern California in recent weeks.
The Dodgers also canceled plans to unveil their initiatives to help local immigrant communities Thursday.
“Because of the events earlier today, we continue to work with groups that were involved with our programs,” Dodgers president Stan Kasten said.
“But we are going to have to delay today’s announcement while we firm up some more details.
“We’ll get back to you soon with the timing.”
