#Immigration raids in #LosAngeles hit #SmallBusiness owners

Juan Ibarra stands outside his fruit & vegetable outlet in LA’s vast fresh #produce market where Hispanic & Latin restaurateurs, street vendors & food truck operators buy supplies every day.

On Monday morning, the usually bustling market was largely empty. Since #ICE began conducting #workplace raids, including at a #textile factory 2 blocks away, Ibarra said #business has virtually dried up.

“Enforcement actions targeting agricultural laborers are highly disruptive to farm operations and the produce supply chain consumers rely on," said IFPA. "They are also the culmination of decades of inaction from policymakers and a broken labor system. These actions are exacerbating an already-fragile labor situation, threatening the long-term viability of U.S. agriculture and impacting the broader supply chain, from packers and wholesalers to retailers and transportation providers.

A dangerous #Ecoli strain has emerged; a small #mutation may explain its rise
A sweeping genetic analysis by researchers at #CDC suggests a tiny mutation in one of the #bacteria's molecular weapons may be behind the strain's rise. The mutation the CDC researchers found was in one of these #T3SS effectors, a protein called #EspW. The CDC researchers suggest this could help E. coli when it's on #lettuce and other #produce.
