The Los Angeles Times reported on a UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute study finding that immigration enforcement activity in Los Angeles County caused steep revenue losses for Latino-owned small businesses, with many continuing to struggle nearly a year later. Researchers estimated that businesses near nine enforcement sites lost more than $3 million in revenue in the two weeks following the 2025 raids, with entrepreneurs also reporting persistent financial stress and mental health impacts. “The dominant arm isn’t more capable because one hemisphere of the brain is simply better at controlling movement,” study co-author Ahmet Arac, a neurologist at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, says in a separate statement. “It is because we’ve spent a lifetime practicing the specific, complicated movements that tools and handwriting demand. Take away that practice by switching to a body part like the elbow that’s never done the task before and the advantage disappears.”
