At 8 a.m. on July 4, about a dozen people gathered in front of a tamale cart stationed outside an abandoned 99-cent store building in Pasadena, California — some 10 miles outside of Los Angeles. While the tamales were delicious, that wasn’t the only thing drawing out the crowd — they were there for a fundraiser to support 14-year-old Chris Garcia, who started running his mom’s cart after ICE took some of her customers a few weeks earlier. Her business suffered, and she fell behind in bills, so Garcia stepped up. 

An hour after the event started, the lowrider car community came cruising and bouncing down the street in support of Garcia. People started buying tamales by the dozens.
