“Border Patrol has prioritized the quick transporting of noncitizens encountered in this desert environment, which is particularly dangerous during current weather conditions, to Border Patrol facilities where individuals can receive medical care, food and water,” a spokesperson for US Customs and Border Protection said in a statement. The agency said the fenced-in outdoor space is covered by a large canopy and migrants have access to large fans, meals, water, and bathroom facilities. “The Ajo Border Patrol Station is not equipped to hold large number of migrants due to historic trends in this area.”After arriving at Ajo Station, migrants are screened and then transported to other locations for immigration processing, with the closest large Border Patrol facility or shelter 2.5 hours away, according to the Border Patrol. The Tucson Border Patrol sector encountered more than 24,000 migrants in June, making it the second-busiest sector on the southern border during the month, according to Border Patrol data. Border Patrol officials report no deaths have occurred at Ajo station or the surrounding areas since the beginning of the heat wave and since the increase in migrant encounters.

☆ Constellation Brands is in the midst of a transformation. How activist Elliott may build value
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-22 | by ( Kenneth Squire | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Activist Commentary: Elliott is a very successful and astute activist investor, particularly in the technology sector. Constellation Brands produces and markets beer, wine and spirits, but it's essentially a beer company with 85% of its revenue coming from beer sales. Moreover, it is not just a niche beer business anymore. First, the company has traded at a discount because of the dual-class share structure that allowed the Sands family to control Constellation. This leaves a core beer business that can now be operated without unnecessary distractions.

July 14 (Reuters) - Pot producer Canopy Growth (WEED.TO) has signed agreements with lenders to reduce its debt by C$437 million ($333.36 million) over the next six months, weeks after the Canadian firm raised doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. The agreements with secured and unsecured lenders would also lower its interest expenses by C$20 million to C$30 million, the company said on Friday. The deals include redemption agreements with certain holders of its unsecured senior notes and agreements with certain of its lenders under its credit facility. Once a multi-billion company, Canopy has seen its fortunes dwindling over the years, as the Canadian cannabis industry remains challenged by systemic regulatory issues and the illicit marijuana market.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide, and forest loss and damage has caused around 10% of global warming, according to nonprofit World Wildlife Fund. The EU rules apply to companies meeting the bloc’s broad definition of an “operator,” which includes a business importing into the EU, exporting from it, or putting products on the bloc’s market. The EU rules are expected to become stricter over time. Sen.

As a result of the review, Canopy said it has let go of several members of BioSteel's leadership team. Sarwat added that Canopy was still burning through cash and including going concern risk in the filing makes Canopy USA's rationale unclear, as cash won't flow back to the U.S. unit without federal legalization.
