A promise of federal action to fill border wall gaps prompted Ducey to back down on his own barrier construction, his office said.
Under pressure from a federal lawsuit, Gov. Doug Ducey has agreed to remove his makeshift border barrier of shipping containers in Yuma and Cochise counties.
That promise of federal action is what prompted Ducey to back down on his own border barrier construction, his office said. The agreement makes no mention of when the state must remove the four miles of container wall it erected in the Coronado National Forest in Cochise County. Discussions on how to accomplish that will start within a week between state and U.S. Forest Service officials, according to the stipulation.
Russ McSpadden of the Center for Biological Diversity applauded the agreement, but added that the federal government has not given any indication it would build a wall in the Coronado National Forest or the San Rafael Valley in Cochise County. He called the shipping container barrier an illegal stunt that chewed up millions of taxpayer dollars.
