Congress last month approved the fiscal year 2024 funding level for FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program in the federal funding package, nearly six months into the fiscal year. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Democrat who represents San Antonio, said that immigration is a federal responsibility. “Funding from the Shelter and Services Program (SSP) has helped Catholic Charities and other groups in my city of San Antonio offer basic migrant services without straining local resources. “Due to the substantial demand that exceeds the limited SSP program funding authorized by Congress, not all requests can be fulfilled,” a DHS spokesperson told CNN. The Migrant Resource Center opened in July 2022 as a temporary place for migrants traveling through San Antonio.

☆ A professor found $550,000 of 'floating gold' in the entrails of a dead sperm whale. Here's why ambergris is so expensive.

A professor found a lump of ambergris, or "floating gold," worth 500,000 euros in a dead whale. The stone, which was worth 500,000 euros, or around $545,000, was made of ambergris — a strange, naturally-occurring substance that's known as "floating gold." It can be judged by the color of the ambergris, with black having the least ambrein and white the most. Top perfumes are usually made with white ambergris, while substitute chemicals are used in cheaper ones. In 2021, a group of fishermen in the Gulf of Aden sold a chunk of ambergris worth around $1.5 million to a buyer in the United Arab Emirates.

MEXICO CITY, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Mexico's FEMSA (FEMSAUBD.MX) has signed an agreement to purchase financial services company NetPay as the retailer and Coke bottler expands its digital payments portfolio into business-to-business transactions, the company said on Monday. "This acquisition will allow us to extend our value proposition to micro, small and medium-sized companies," Digital@FEMSA Chief Executive Jose Antonio Fernandez said in a statement to Mexico's main stock exchange. FEMSA had purchased a minority stake in NetPay in 2019, it added, and hopes to complete the full purchase by the first quarter of 2023.
