Dodgers block ICE agents from entering stadium in Los Angeles, team says

Dodgers block ICE agents from entering stadium in Los Angeles, team says

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday blocked federal immigration agents from entering their stadium as dozens of ICE protesters gathered outside the venue, the team said. The baseball organizationsaid on social mediathat federal agents working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrived at the stadium Thursday and "requested permission to access the parking lots." "They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization," the Dodgers said, adding that their evening game against the San Diego Padres will go on at the stadium as scheduled. ICE responded to the Dodgerson social media: "False. We were never there." Demonstrators outside the stadium's gates were seen holding signs and chanting "ICE out of L.A." and "ICE go home" as several dark SUVs stood on the opposite side of the road. Some federal agents appeared to be wearing Homeland Security uniforms. "This had nothing to do with the Dodgers," Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told NBC News in an email. According to McLaughlin, Customs and Border Protection vehicles "were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement." The federal agents who showed up were turned away from entering the stadium gates, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. It was not immediately clear whether or how their presence was connected to immigration operations reported around the city Thursday, the sources said. A spokesperson for Gov. Gavin Newsom said the agents' presence at Dodger Stadium was intended to contribute to unease over the immigration raids. "This is another example of the federal administration doing everything in their power to strike fear and hurt hard-working families," the governor's deputy director of communications, Diana Crofts-Pelayo, said. Eunisses Hernandez, a Los Angeles City Council member,told NBC Newsshe got calls early in the morning that "federal agents were staging here at the entrance of Dodgers Stadium. We got pictures of dozens of vehicles and dozens of agents." She said residents asked her to come "check things out because this is Dodgers property right here and what's happening is outrageous." Los Angeles police were called, Hernandez said. They arrived in tactical gear around 11:30 a.m. and started moving protesters out of the way. "People are out here because they don't want to see their families torn apart. They don't want to see more workers taken from their jobs," Hernandez said at the site of the protest. Sources said the Dodgers have cooperated with law enforcement in the past, letting them use parking lots around the stadium for staging purposes. "Businesses and corporations have the power to say, 'Not on my property,' so we're waiting to see that movement happen here,"Hernandez told NBC Los Angeles. As anti-ICE demonstrations raged across Los Angeles this month, many residents have called on the Dodgers to support immigrant communities. The criticism comes as Dodgers ownerMark Walter bought another renowned Los Angeles sports team, the Lakers. The Dodgers, the defending World Series champions,reportedly have plansto announce a sweeping initiative to assist immigrant communities affected by recent ICE raids. For Thursday's Juneteenth holiday, the team plans a celebration of Black Heritage Night as it faces an opportunity to sweep the Padres in four games, with play scheduled for 7:10 p.m. One of L.A.'s star players, Kike Hernández,released a statement this weekto show his support. "I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city," the statement reads. "I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused, and ripped apart. All people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and human rights." Jacob Soboroff and AndrewBlankstein reportedfrom Los Angeles and Nicole Acevedo from New York.

Nationals stop 11-game skid as Wood hits second 2-run homer in 11th for 4-3 win over Rockies

WASHINGTON (AP) — James Wood hit a pair of two-run homers, including a game-winning shot in the 11th inning, and the Washington Nationals snapped their 11-game losing streak Thursday with a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. With one out and automatic runner Riley Adams on third, Wood drove a 1-0 pitch from Seth Halvorsen (1-2) to center field for his 20th home run — giving the Nationals only their third win in 17 games this month. It was the fourth multihomer game for the second-year outfielder. He did it twice last September and finished with nine homers as a rookie. CJ Abrams singled leading off the fourth against Rockies rookie starter Chase Dollander, and Wood homered to center for a 2-0 lead. Colorado tied it 2-all in the fifth against starter Trevor Williams. Orlando Arcia singled with one out and was awarded third base after second baseman Luis García Jr. caught a liner for the second out but bounced a throw off Arcia and out of play trying to catch him off first base. Jordan Beck doubled in a run and Mickey Moniak added an RBI single. Ryan McMahon singled and went to third on a double by Brenton Doyle to chase Williams with one out in the sixth. Cole Henry got the final two outs of the inning to keep the score tied. Williams allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Ryan Loutos (1-0) gave up a go-ahead single to Michael Toglia in the 11th before retiring the next three batters for his first career win. Dollander permitted two runs and six hits in six innings. Key moment Henry came in with one out and runners on second and third in the sixth and struck out both Sam Hilliard and Arcia swinging to keep it tied. Key stat Eight of Colorado's 17 wins have come this month. Up next The Nationals hadn't announced a starter for Friday's series opener in Los Angeles against the Dodgers and LHP Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 3.25 ERA). LHP Austin Gomber will make his second start of the season for Colorado in Friday's opener against the visiting Diamondbacks. Gomber gave up two hits in five shutout innings at Atlanta his first time out. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/mlb

"Squid Game" Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk Teases 'Possibility' of a Spinoff Ahead of Final Season

Taylor Hill/FilmMagic; No Ju-han/Netflix Squid Gamecreator Hwang Dong-hyuk told PEOPLE there's a "possibility" for a spinoff of the hit Netflix series While he said there are no additional details at the moment for "when and how" it happens, he said "there is a chance" Squid Gamereturns for its third and final season on June 27 TheSquid Gameuniverse could be expanding. Hwang Dong-hyuk— the South Korean creator and writer-director of the hit Netflix series — spoke to PEOPLE exclusively at the season 3 premiere on Wednesday, June 18, at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, where he teased that there's "possibility" of a spinoff. "I cannot just tell right now when and how it's going to happen," he said. "But there is a chance." No Ju-han/Netflix Season 3 is set to pick up right where the previous season left off, with Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) — a.k.a. Player 456 — licking his wounds after he and some of his fellow contestants attempted an ill-fated rebellion against those running the Squid Game competition. The story left offwith the players' revolt failing, Hwang In-ho (Lee Byung-hun) revealing himself as The Front Man and the murder of Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) right in front of Gi-hun. "The third and final season ofSquid Gamefollows Gi-hun after losing his best friend in the game and being driven to utter despair by The Front Man, who was hiding his true identity to infiltrate the game," the official season 3 synopsis reads. The synopsis continues, "Gi-hun persists with his goal to put an end to the game, while the Front Man continues onto his next move and the surviving players' choices will lead to graver consequences with each round." No Ju-han/Netflix "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?" Gi-hun screams in theclipas he's restrained. We also see the surviving players forced to finish out the Squid Game — including a twisted and deadly round of jump rope — that they were participating in before the rebellion. The trailer ends with Gi-hun being escorted to the control room to come face to face with The Front Man once again. "Player 456, do you still have faith in people?" The Front Man asks Gi-hun as it comes to a close. Squid Gameseason 3 streams June 27 on Netflix. Read the original article onPeople

Fuerza Regida’s Hollywood Bowl Concert Debut ‘Must Go On’ as ICE Raids Continue in L.A.: ‘We Don’t Want to Disappoint’ and ‘We’re Here to Help’

Fuerza Regida's Hollywood Bowl Concert Debut 'Must Go On' as ICE Raids Continue in L.A.: 'We Don't Want to Disappoint' and 'We're Here to Help'

For the first time in history, two Spanish-language albumstoppedthe albums chart in the United States last month. Not unusually,Bad Bunnyclaimed the No. 1 spot. But making an impressive showing at No. 2 was "111Xpantia," the ninth album by Fuerza Regida — a five-member regional Mexican band with deep roots in San Bernardino, Calif. With a population of nearly 70% Latinos, San Bernardino is where Fuerza Regida earned its wings, performing at parties and events starting in 2017 until they became local and then national celebrities. With a fierce loyalty to his homebase, frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz, 28, recently opened headquarters in the city for his indie label Street Mob Records, which develops and signs songwriters, producers and artists. In a new partnership with Warner Music Latina, the artist incubator is home to risingmúsica mexicanaacts from Clave Especial to Calle 24. More from Variety Bad Bunny and Fuerza Regida Make Chart History as Spanish-Language Albums Claim Top Spots Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera Release Joint 'Mala Mía' EP Fuerza Regida Plots Arena Run With U.S. 'Pero No Te Enamores' Tour (EXCLUSIVE) To celebrate these successes, the band took an intentional break from touring this year and announced just two concerts at iconic venues — Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl — in New York and Los Angeles, respectively. But at the height of themúsica mexicanamovement (the genre experiencednotable growth in revenuein the U.S. starting 2023), and with Fuerza Regida at the forefront, the Trump administration continues to crack down on deporting undocumented immigrants across cities with largely Latino populations. Some have expressed concern that Fuerza Regida's Hollywood Bowl show on June 21 in Los Angeles could be a potential target, with consideration that their fanbase is largely Mexican. "It's a fucked up situation but we're here to help," Paz tellsVariety. "We don't want to disappoint nobody, and I know a lot of people bought their tickets and are looking forward to being with a community. That's why we're still going forward with [the Hollywood Bowl concert] — the show must go on." In recent weeks, the band responded to the growing number ofaggressive ICE arrests in workplacesacross Los Angeles and New York City by donating to organizations like the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, which covers legal fees for impacted individuals. The money is coming from exclusive limited-edition sales of hats and a merchandise collaboration with comedian and internet personality Druski. In addition to immigration enforcement, the Trump administration has also revoked work visas for such regional acts as Los Alegres del Barranco, and stadium acts Julión Álvarez and Grupo Firme. Christopher Landau,the Deputy Secretary of State, accused Los Alegres of "glorifying a drug kingpin" during a concert in Mexico. Paz says his band is not involved nor do they promote this kind of violence with their music, however, their lyrics have made references to cartels in the past. "Music is like a movie," Paz says. "Just like any other genre, corridos have a deep history and there's different kinds of them — they're not all bad. Am I going to continue singing them? Yes, of course. It's a part of us. Everything we do in our music is for the people. Generally, I do what I want, but what I want is to listen to my people." For the "111XPantía" shows, the group will perform the 12-song album in its entirety, in addition to some of their biggest hits. Paz admits the size of the shows, and the decision to do them back-to-back, was a risk ("New York is typically a tough market for Mexican acts," he notes) that grew riskier following the changes in political climate, "but we're really happy about the shows, and all we feel is pride." Their 12-song set includes dips in other genres, incorporating new elements like the banjo on "Peliculiando," and samples that range from Ellie Goulding's "Don't Say a Word" on "Tu Sancho," to John Williams' "Love Waltz" from Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" on the aptly-titled "Godfather." "We've been doing this for so many years now, and so our studio sessions move a lot faster," he says. "I like to go by the 80/20 rule — 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. My team works with me, I put in 20% in a lot of different places and they easily bring the 80% and that allows me the [flexibility] to do and try a lot." On the ethos of Street Mob Records, Paz hopes to share what he's learned from "being in a lot of bad situations, and a lot of good situations" to his signees. "We're working hard to make this the best and biggest team we can," he says. "I want everyone who wants to learn about music and this lifestyle to have the best opportunity with us. It's all about building the structures out, and just trusting in the vision. We're doing superstar things." Fuerza Regida will make their debuts in New York's Madison Square Garden on June 20, and L.A's Hollywood Bowl on June 21.

Coastal Carolina is in CWS finals, and retired coach Gary Gilmore is happy to watch from afar

Coastal Carolina is in CWS finals, and retired coach Gary Gilmore is happy to watch from afar

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Considering the run Coastal Carolina's baseball team is on — 26 straight winson the way to the College World Series finals— it would be understandable if Gary Gilmore had second thoughts about retiring after last season. Not a one, he said by phone Thursday as he pulled out of the driveway of his home in North Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, to head to his grandson's travel team tournament. The 67-year-old Gilmore attended no Coastal Carolina games this season until the Chanticleers' first two in the CWS last weekend. He sat in the stands at Charles Schwab Field, uncomfortable as it was for the man who spent 29 years at the helm,led the 2016 Chanticleers to the national championshipand is regarded as the godfather of program. Gilmore said he and his family would be back for thebest-of-three finals against LSUstarting Saturday night. "Is there a piece of my DNA in this thing? Absolutely. There's no doubt about it," Gilmore said, "and I hope it will be for all time." But the 2025 Chanticleers are first-year coach Kevin Schnall's team, and Gilmore said he wanted to make a clean break and not give the impression he was looking over Schnall's shoulder. Schnall was Gilmore's assistant for more than two decades. The grind of building Coastal Carolina into a perennial NCAA Tournament team and CWS contender caused Gilmore to sacrifice time with his wife and two children to chase championships, as coaches are wont to do. When he was hired as head coach in 1996, his office was in a trailer with no plumbing behind a weed-filled outfield. Twenty years later, the Chanticleers were national champions. Gilmore could have said his work was done at that point, but he wasn't ready quite yet. In January 2020, he got a devastating reality check when he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. It had spread to his liver, but it was a type that tends to be more manageable than the more common variety that invariably carries a grim prognosis. He went through chemotherapy and traveled regularly first to Houston, and now Denver, for treatments. In 2023, he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and had surgery to remove the gland. Gilmore tolerated his treatments for both cancers better than expected. He missed only three games and rarely a practice. All he went through, though, made him realize the pull to dedicate more of himself to his family was getting stronger. He wanted to reconnect with his wife and children and build strong bonds with his four grandchildren. "I feel awesome," he said. "I have what I have. I've got the best doctor in the world. His goal is to manage all this stuff. At some point I'm going to have a life-changing surgery where they can get everything in my liver completely stabilized, and they have confidence that's going to last me a long time. I'll hopefully rid myself of some of this." Doctors initially told him the worst-case scenario was that he would live two more years; the "dream" was to make it 10. Now the outlook is better. "How things have gone, God willing, they can keep me with a good quality of life and hopefully something else will get me before that," he said. Gilmore acknowledges the game isn't the same now with name, image and likeness opportunities and, soon, direct payments to athletes becoming larger factors in putting together and keeping together a team. "The NIL, the analytics, the portal," he said. "I honestly think this is a younger guy's game, to be honest with you. Guys like me, we coached the game with our eyes. We didn't coach with analytics and this and that. We recruited with our eyes. We didn't recruit over the internet to a large degree. We went out and saw guys play, evaluated people. "That's not the reason I got out of it, ultimately. I've got two stage-4 cancers is my body. I feel healthy as I can, and I'm lucky and blessed I have the health I do. All that played out in my mind. You're 67 years old, you got four grandkids. What are the choices you want to make here?" Right now, his choice is to be with his family while he enjoys watching the team he helped build chase a second national championship and see all that is possible for the 10,000-student school in the Myrtle Beach area that had no national athletic identity before 2016. "Just because of the size of school, people want to label you Cinderella," Gilmore said. "We were a Cinderella in '16, absolutely, no doubt about it. We left Omaha still explaining what our mascot was, and Kevin's still doing it today." Indeed, Schnall gave a stern pronunciation lesson to the media after his team beat Oregon State on Sunday, opening his news conference: "Everybody say it with me: SHON-tuh-cleers! SHON-tuh-cleers! Not SHAN-tuh-cleers! SHON-tuh-cleers!" However you say it, the Chanticleers are well-suited to the cavernous CWS ballpark. They don't hit many home runs, but they get on base, get timely hits, have strong pitching and play outstanding defense. They're also hot. "I've never seen anything like this," Gilmore said. "Crazy." ___ AP college sports:https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports

Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton 'has every intention of playing' in Game 6 of NBA Finals: Report

Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton 'has every intention of playing' in Game 6 of NBA Finals: Report

Indiana Pacers star point guard Tyrese Haliburton has "every intention of playing" in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN's Shams Charaniasaid Thursday afternoon on "The Pat McAfee Show." Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that Haliburtonwould be a game-time decisionfor the win-or-go-home showdown with the Thunder, who currently lead the series 3-2. Haliburton suffered a right calf injury during theteam's 120-109 lossin Game 5 on Monday. He finished with just four points after shooting 0-for-6 from the field in what was the worst game of his otherwise memorable, and mostly clutch, playoff run. Haliburton wore a gray sock/compression sleeve on his lower right leg while getting shots up Thursday evening, just a few hours before the 8:30 p.m tipoff. Tyrese Haliburton putting up shots before Game 6 and is a game-time decision 👀pic.twitter.com/In2b31jqbP — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports)June 19, 2025 "The Pacers have a walkthrough this afternoon, so approximately around 5 p.m. ET they're hopeful to know definitively whether Tyrese Haliburton should be able to play or not," Charania said on "The Pat McAfee Show." Charania continued while on with McAfee: "Unless there's some kind of a setback there — if he shows some signs where the medical team has to come in and step in and say, 'Listen, we can't throw you out there.' But he's fully intending to be out there tonight. He's going to gut it out. I would expect him to have some padding on that calf. But, listen, it's a calf strain. He's definitely got to be careful. But as long as he can get out there, I would expect Tyrese Haliburton to try to play tonight." Haliburton played through the injury in Game 5 andmade it clear postgamethat he'll turn over every stone to be on the court in Indianapolis Thursday night, with the Pacers' season and NBA championship hopes on the line. "If I can walk, then I want to play," he told reporters at the time. Haliburton doubled down on that statement Wednesday. "I have to understand the risks, ask the right questions. But I'm a competitor,"he said."I want to play. I'm going to do everything in my power to play." Haliburton has averaged 17.9 points, 9.1 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in the playoffs this season. His impact, however, is even greater than his numbers suggest. In addition to orchestrating the Pacers' run-and-gun offense, he's hit an array of jaw-dropping shots this postseason, including a game-winner to start the NBA Finals.

"What's a core memory from theHannah Montanadays that still makes you laugh?" Tish, 58, asked. Sorry we're Cyrus podcast Without hesitation, the "Flowers" singer replied: "Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it." Tish laughed at the thought while Brandi, 38, shot her a look. "I do remember that," the actress and DJ confessed. The father-daughter duo starred in the teenage sitcom, which ran on the Disney Channel from 2006 to 2011. Miley recalled the situation being "hilarious," while Tish remembered things a bit differently. Tish,who divorced Billy Ray in 2022after 28 years of marriage, said she would get calls that the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer was "smoking pot," but she would never believe the reports. "I was saying, 'Absolutely not, he would never do that,' " Tish said. She and theBangerzsinger instead blamed Miley'sHannah MontanacostarMitchel Musso, who played Oliver Oken.

While on a press tour for herSomething Beautifulalbum, she appeared on the June 10 episode of the Wondery podcast,Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. During their chat, Miley opened up about her family'sheadline-making drama. "My family and I have had a really difficult … What did you call your decade? Dark decade. Yeah, we had one of those," Miley told the activist and author, 51. "Half of us weren't speaking to each other at one point, and we cleaned all that up," the "Wrecking Ball" singer continued. "That was a really important part of my year this year, was all of my family putting those lines of communication back together. A lot because of, you know, I had a lot of loyalty to my mom, the way that families do when parents get divorced." Kevin Mazur/BBMA2017/Getty "I watched what happens when you don't clean things up as they're happening. They really do stack, and then all of a sudden you go, 'Oh my God, it's been 10 years, and this is a mess that I barely even know how to start. This is like emotional hoarding,'" Miley told Lewinsky of her family dynamic.

"We're so messywe didn't even do any of that," the actress later said while discussing therapy. However, she shared that she and her family have come a long way, revealing plans to use her music to tell their story.

The situation is quite urgent for them, and they need help. As far as my drug abuse goes, I decided to become sober, as I indicated, and that's the best gift I ever gave myself," she toldParade, noting that she is 38 years sober. Matlin also reveals in her documentary that when she first checked into the Betty Ford Center for treatment, she had to pay out of pocket for an interpreter because the rehab refused to provide the service. "I needed rehab, I needed the interpreter. So what am I supposed to do?" she recalled. "I did ask, 'Can you help pay for the interpreters?' And they said no. Again I asked, I think two or three or four times. I had to pay for my own access, which is ridiculous, but that's [still] going on every day. We have to pay for our access.Why?" In addition to reflecting on the past,Not Alone Anymorealso looks toward the future, even if roles for Deaf actors are few and far between. "I am constantly thinking, wondering and a little bit concerned about the fact that there is a lack of work that I love to do," Matlin admitted. "Why does it have to be so difficult for me and other Deaf actors to find work? There are great and fabulous actors out there. Great writers, great directors, producers, hair, wardrobe, whomever wants to work in the entertainment industry. They are out there!"
