This was a political stunt by the Dodgers, not heroism. ICE wasn't even there — CBP was, and only briefly to use the lot, unrelated to the Dodgers. This false narrative has now fueled further division, not unity. And even if ICE did want to enter, they could, as property rights don't trump federal law. The team's pandering to radical protesters distorts facts and undermines legitimate enforcement.
