The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to visit the White House following their recent World Series victories.

Some supporters express discomfort with the team's association with the president, especially given ownership's ties to private immigration detention services. The team's visit is a traditional honor for champions, yet it carries complex implications in a city impacted by these political dynamics.
