Leftists Said ICE Nabbed Nannies In Santa Monica's Douglas Park, Taking them away from Screaming Babies. It Wasn't True

On June 14, Santa Monica officials dispelled rumors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detaining nannies at local parks, sparked by unverified online posts and a preschool email.

While no evidence supported these claims, recent ICE activity at Westside car washes fueled broader immigration enforcement concerns.

Separately, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has stated that their agents were not at Dodger Stadium looking for illegal aliens. This contradicted claims made by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers reported that ICE agents requested access to the stadium’s parking lots on June 19, 2025, but were denied entry.

However, ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) clarified that the agents present were from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), not ICE, and that ICE was "never there." This discrepancy has fueled confusion, with some reports suggesting CBP agents were using a nearby parking lot, not necessarily attempting to enter the stadium itself.

Douglas Park is a 10.7 acres (4.3 ha) park in Santa Monica, California. Formerly the site of an aircraft factory and movie studio lot, the park is named after Donald Douglas and hosts a number of facilities, including a bowling green and Los Angeles County's largest municipal pond.
