AJO, Ariz. (AP) — A humanitarian organization that provides aid to border crossers says it is opening an office
to welcome visitors for a few hours on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings in the southern Arizona desert community of Ajo.

The Ajo Samaritans say they will first open the office in the border town Thursday to provide information about their work.
The group says Ajo residents have provided water and other aid to travelers in the Sonora desert for generations.

The office will be staffed from 4-6 p.m. Thursdays and from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Border volunteer Scott Warren, who is set to be retried in November on two felony counts of harboring migrants
in the U.S. without permission, lives in the community and volunteers with the Ajo Samaritans.

TUCSON, Ariz. — An update on Tucson's new shelter for asylum seekers, which has been operating for about a week now.

Pima County provided space that had been used for juvenile detention to catholic community services.

The space replaced the temporary shelter in the former Benedictine Monastery.

The Pima County Administrator reports the new shelter has so far hosted 246 asylum seekers legally in the U.S.
while their asylum claims are considered.

Chuck Huckleberry says Pima County may provide pictures of the new environment soon.
