The petition, organized by faith-based community organizing network PICO California, came a day after the Dodgers postponed their first public comment regarding the immigration raids.

"False," the agency said in a response to a Tweet from the Dodger's social media saying agents were stopped at the parking lot. "We were never there."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers organization said Thursday that it asked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to leave the Dodger Stadium grounds after they arrived at a parking lot near one of the gates.
