Rosemead Police/HSI/or ICE Bust
I don’t know if this is Homeland Security, but the video says it is. Is it ICE? This happened in Rosemead on Encintas and Mission up in the north side.

Orientalism: Music, Edward Said, 1 Year of the Israel-Gaza War
(Before digging into this, I’m not going to pretend I’m not an ignorant Orientalist. I have been for most of my life, and I’m listening and reading to overcome this racism.
