Kike Hernandez made a powerful statement back in June 2025 on his Instagram about his support for city of Los Angeles and the city’s immigrant population, stating “I may not be Born & Raised, but this city adopted me as one of their own. I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city. Los Angeles and Dodger fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love. This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights. #CityOflmmigrants”
And today Kike reposted it to his Instagram stories in light of the current events in Minnesota. It’s encouraging to see baseball players showing support of the immigrant community and the state we are in right now.

Thanks for reposting. Reposting my comment from earlier:
Meanwhile Blake Snell follows and likes DJT’s posts.
Happy to see Kiké speaking out. As much as I would love that for all players, I’d be happy to settle with them unfollowing and not engaging with this admin’s posts.
I hate him but respect him for doing this
F THE DODGERS. But good for him
Will Klein has also been retweeting Tim Walz and Obama about the the murder of Alex Pretti. Him, Kike and some posts last year by Brusdar Graterol are the only signs that any Dodger player has some guts to say something right now.
This has nothing to do with baseball other than it’s from a baseball player. Please don’t shit up this subreddit like every non-politics subreddit with politics.
I appreciate the (very) few baseball players using their platforms to voice their stance against ICE/Trumpism.
I forgot that 2025 and 2026 were the first two years we’ve ever deported illegal immigrants. That’s crazy that’s it’s never happened before!
Always trust a big butt and a bigger heart.
I don’t give a damn what he thinks!
Well, yeah, I’m pretty sure almost everyone you ask in the US will be in support of legal immigration. That’s how most of us got here.

Maybe I’m just harsh but these things always seem so performative when White House visits are accepted from the administration causing all this pain. If he decides not to go then good on him and a wonderful use of your platform.
He’s a winner on and off the field.
The 7% of mlb players have shown their heada recently
I’m a mariners fan thru and thru but I love that he supports immigrants, he seems like a good dude and made a statement last year and is making a statement now with what’s going on in Minnesota!
Hell yeah, good for you Kiké. Use your platform for good, brother.
Why is this page so political now?
How many illegals has he taken into his home?
I support legal immigrants too.Just not the illegal ones..
This sub sucks
Too bad none of them can afford a game. Yeah really insightful
Kind of weird that he’s using an advertisement for a brand to speak out ngl. Weirder that he did it twice
He’s a dbag.
Bold stance for a player named after a slur (/s)
I thought you turned his name into a racial slur at first…
That’s why nobody is gonna sign him

Wow so brave
