Brewers Fan Fired After Threatening Dodgers Fan with ICE

In a recent incident at a playoff game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers, a Brewers fan named Shannon Kobylarczyk threatened to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a Latino Dodgers fan, Ricardo Fosado, who is a U.S. Navy veteran. The incident, which was recorded and widely shared on social media, has led to significant consequences for Kobylarczyk.

As of October 17, 2025, Kobylarczyk has been banned from the stadium where the incident occurred, American Family Field in Milwaukee. Additionally, she has lost both of her jobs, including her position as a lawyer at ManpowerGroup and her role on the board of directors for the Milwaukee division of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Milwaukee Brewers organization has condemned Kobylarczyk's actions, stating that they "do not condone in any way offensive statements fans make to each other about race, gender, or national origin." The team also confirmed that Fosado and Kobylarczyk have both been banned from the stadium due to the incident, which involved disorderly conduct and physical confrontation.

Despite the harsh consequences for Kobylarczyk, Fosado, the Dodgers fan, has expressed empathy towards her, stating that her behavior, which he believes was fueled by alcohol, should not have necessarily cost her her jobs. The incident has highlighted the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement in the United States.
