After the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2025 World Series, President Donald Trump invited them to the White House. Many of their fans feared that the team, by accepting, would humiliate themselves and betray the team’s large Latino, Asian and African-American fan base.

But Dodgers controlling owner Mark Walter, along with co-owner Magic Johnson, have proposed a solution. Trump has promised that if he can keep the championship trophy, the Commissioner’s Trophy, he will end all seizures and deportations of immigrants. Many Dodgers fans are still wary because Trump is notorious for breaking his promises, and they fear that if Trump does stop the deportations, he will be punished by his domestic policy boss, Stephen Miller.

It is worth noting that the Dodgers’ roster includes immigrants from:

Japan (Shotei  Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki) Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was also born in Japan. His mother, Eiko, is Japanese.

Dominican Republic (Teoscar Hernández, Esteury Ruiz)

Venezuela (Edgardo Henriquez)

Cuba (Andy Pages)

South Korea (Hyeseong Kim)

Canada (Freddie Freeman was born in U.S. but has Canadian citizenship because his father is Canadian) By the way, the Dodgers have the same number of Canadians on their roster as the Toronto Blue Jays: one.
