Little Tokyo (where Newsom's press conf is) is, of course, historically and symbolically significant because of the history of Japanese-American immigrants being rounded up and incarcerated in an earlier (but not past) era.

As I was saying:
"Fujioka said the agents’ appearance in Little Tokyo “is a parallel of what happened in 1942,” and noting that the museum was built on the location where L.A. residents of Japanese descent “were told to come here and put on buses and sent to camps.”"
