Workers at Crypto.com Arena Calling on LA28 and IOC to Keep ICE Out During the Olympic Games

As Los Angeles prepares to host the 2028 Olympic Games, workers at Crypto.com Arena took action to demand safe, welcoming Olympic venues free from the sorts of heavy-handed and abusive immigration enforcement that we have seen in Los Angeles and elsewhere in recent months. Workers delivered hundreds of petition signatures from their coworkers urging Crypto.com Arena to call on LA28 and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to commit to keeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other immigration enforcement agencies out of Olympic venues and events.

“This arena runs because of immigrant workers.” said Marisela Gomez, a Stand Lead at Crypto.com Arena, where she’s worked for 15 years. “The Olympics will only succeed because of immigrant workers. If LA wants to welcome the world, it has to protect the people who make that welcome possible.”

The Fair Games Coalition Call for Resignation of LA28’s Chairperson Wasserman in Response to Welcoming Trump’s MAGAfication of Board

“LA28 can run the Trump Olympics. But LA28 cannot run the Los Angeles Olympics. If Casey Wasserman cannot see the difference and thinks appointing anti-union, anti-immigrant, pro-Trump billionaires is acceptable, then Casey Wasserman must resign — immediately,” said Kurt Petersen, co-president of UNITE HERE Local 11, a member of Fair Games Coalition.
