Angel City FC players and staff wore T-shirts and read a pregame message declaring their support for immigrants on Saturday, a day of protest against ICE raids throughout Los Angeles.
The front of the black T-shirts read: “Immigrant City Football Club.”
The back featured the phrases: “Los Angeles is for everyone” and “Los Ángeles es Para Todos.”
The club was the first of the city’s 11 major professional sports teams to release a statement in support of those impacted by immigration raids during the past week focused on Los Angeles County and surrounding areas.
