Journalists roundtable: Shelter for asylum seekers moving

Plus, growing opposition to the proposed Interstate 11 corridor.

Arizona 360's journalists roundtable featured the Arizona Daily Star's Sarah Garrecht Gassen, the Green Valley News/Sahuarita Sun's Dan Shearer and the Tucson Sentinel's Dylan Smith. The panel discussed the Pima County Board of Supervisors' vote to approve relocating a temporary shelter for asylum seekers into a juvenile detention facility.

Other topics included pushback from municipalities against the proposed Interstate 11 corridor and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich's proposal that state lawmakers take steps to legalize recreational marijuana rather than leaving the matter up to voters.
