LA Dodgers say they denied ICE agents access to Dodger Stadium parking lot
LOS ANGELES, June 19 (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday said they had denied U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents access to the parking lot at Dodger Stadium earlier in the day.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots," the team said in a post on X.
"They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled."
The Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said CBP vehicles used the parking lot briefly.
"This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
The Dodgers, whose fanbase includes a large number of Latinos, have come under fire in recent days for not speaking out publicly against raids by ICE agents across the city.

Photos of Juneteenth celebrations commemorating end to slavery

While long honored by Black Americans, the holiday has gained broader recognition since becoming a federal holiday in 2021 under President Joe Biden, who attended an event in Galveston, Texas, where Juneteenth began.

'Deranged' protester runs GOP congressman off the road while chanting 'death to Israel'
A Republican congressman has claimed he was run off the road by an 'unhinged, deranged man' who displayed a Palestinian flag and chanted 'death to Israel.' Rep. Max Miller, of Ohio, took to social media on Thursday to share how he was attacked by an anti-Israeli protester while on his way to work in his district. 'As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn't get my attention to show me a Palestinian flag,' said Miller, who previously worked as a White House aide in President Donald Trump 's first administration and now represents northeastern Ohio. 'Not to mention, "Death to Israel," death to me - that he wanted to kill me and my family,' Miller continued, speaking from inside his car. 'Thank God my daughter was not in my vehicle or anybody else at the time.' The Jewish congressman went on to say he had filed a report with the local police department and with the US Capitol Police. Rocky River Police Department has since confirmed to Fox News that it is investigating the incident. But Miller said in his video he already knows who the perpetrator was, and told the suspect that if he has 'an issue, take it to our office. 'You want to run me off the road, that's a different story,' Miller asserted. Despite the encounter, Miller - who also served as a reservist in the US Marines - said he remains undeterred. 'I will continue to fight against antisemitism, Islamophobia and all other forms of hate,' he declared. The congressman also added in an accompanying X post that: 'As a Marine, a proud Jewish American and a staunch defender of Israel, I will not hide in the face of this blatant antisemitic violence.' In a follow-up post, he thanked the local police departments in his district and the US Capitol Police for their assistance. 'A police report has been filed and when I am able to share the finalized report, I will do so immediately,' Miller vowed, adding: 'Hate has no home here in OH-7.' House Democratic leadership was quick to denounce the attack on Miller's vehicle. 'We condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on Congressman Max Miller and his family, and are thankful they are safe,' Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar said in a statement. 'The rise in political violence in this country is unacceptable,' they continued, weeks after two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers were shot inside their homes. 'This is a moment of crisis that requires Congress to act decisively in order to ensure the safety of every single Member who serves in the People's House.'

Kyle Schwarber's late HR lifts Phillies over Marlins
June 20 - Kyle Schwarber belted a tiebreaking solo homer with two outs in the eighth and Cristopher Sanchez tossed eight strong innings, fueling the visiting Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday. Schwarber deposited a 1-0 sinker from Anthony Bender (1-5) over the wall in right-center field to stake Philadelphia to a 2-1 lead en route to a four-game series win. Schwarber's team-leading 23rd homer and second against Miami this season made a winner out of Sanchez (6-2), who allowed one run on five hits with four strikeouts and no walks. Seventy of Sanchez's 91 pitches went for strikes. Orion Kerkering relieved Sanchez and stranded a runner at third base in the ninth inning to secure his second save of the season. The red-hot Phillies recorded their seventh victory in their last eight games overall. Philadelphia's Alec Bohm had one of his team's six hits and scored on a fielder's choice by Bryson Stott in the seventh. Miami's Nick Fortes had a two-out RBI single in the fifth and Heriberto Hernandez had two of his team's six hits. Bender took the loss after allowing one run on one hit in two-thirds of an inning for the Marlins, who have dropped three of their last four. Dane Myers doubled off Sanchez to lead off the fifth and advanced to third base on a groundout by Jesus Sanchez. Myers came around to score on Fortes' tapper up the third-base line for an infield single. Edward Cabrera allowed a two-out single to Stott in the second and an infield single to Bohm in the seventh. Cabrera struck out Nick Castellanos before being relieved by Cade Gibson, who promptly loaded the bases and saw Bohm score on a sharp grounder to third base by Stott. That left Cabrera saddled with a no-decision despite allowing one run on two hits in 6 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out five. --Field Level Media
