Los Angeles' Angel City FC showcased their support for immigrants by donning shirts labeled 'Immigrant City Football Club' during a home game. The initiative responded to ICE raids and enduring protests in the city. With 10,000 shirts distributed to fans and worn by staff, the campaign highlighted the immigrant identity of both the city and the team. Statements from club members, including defender Ali Riley, reinforced that the club and the sport of football owe their existence and vibrancy to immigrants.
Los Angeles is and always will be an immigrant city,' said Angel City senior social media co-ordinator Yaoziuatl Martinez.
The fabric of this city is made of immigrants. Football does not exist without immigrants. This club does not exist without immigrants.
