LAFC Vs. Sporting KC
Fans Protest ICE During Game
… Unfurl Banners, Chant ‘F*** ICE’
Published
Protests over immigration raids spilled into an MLS stadium on Sunday … with LAFC fans making their anti-ICE stances known loud and clear during the middle of the Los Angeles club’s game against Kansas City.
Multiple people hit BMO Stadium near downtown L.A. — where chaos has erupted for the last three days as police and protesters have clashed on roadways — to voice their displeasure with the ICE raids that have occurred in the city.
Before the game, some unfurled a massive black banner that read “Abolish ICE.” Others wrote signs to make their feelings known.
During the contest — which LAFC won 3-1 — hundreds chanted in unison “f*** ICE” as well.

LAFC forward Jeremy Ebobisse — who signed a three-year deal last year — said after the match he fully supports the fans’ protest, calling the scenes unfolding around the city heartbreaking.
“I live downtown,” Ebobisse said, “and I’ve been seeing and hearing everything that’s going on. It really breaks the heart to see the callous movements that we’re seeing in our streets.”

“Definitely wanted to acknowledge the situation because it’s not normal. We can’t treat it as normal.”
President Donald Trump has addressed the conflict in L.A. several times over the weekend … even at one point ordering thousands of National Guard troops to the city — a move California governor Gavin Newsom has very publicly pushed back on.
