US sues Arizona over shipping containers on Mexico border

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court comes three weeks before the Republican governorDucey told U.S. officials earlier this week that Arizona stands ready to help remove the containers, which he says were placed as a temporary barrier. But he wants the U.S. government to say when it will fill any remaining gaps in the permanentThe U.S. "owes it to Arizonans and all Americans to release a timeline," he wrote in a Tuesday letter, responding to news of the pending federal complaint.

The complaint by the Department of Justice asks the court that Arizona be ordered to halt placement and remove the containers in remote San Rafael Valley in easternmost Cochise County. The work placing up to 3,000 containers at a cost of $95 million is about a third complete, but protesters concerned about its impact on the environment have held up work in recent days.

"Officials from Reclamation and the Forest Service have notified Arizona that it is trespassing on federal lands," the complaint reads. The action also seeks damages to compensate the United States to fix any damage along the border. The move was applauded by U.S. Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, who represents southern Arizona. He called the project an "illegal junkyard border wall.", said the federal complaint "should be the beginning of the end of Doug Ducey’s lawless assault on protected national forestlands and endangered wildlife."YUMA, ARIZONA - SEPTEMBER 27: In this aerial view, shipping containers fill previous gaps in the U.S.-Mexico border wall on September 27, 2022 in Yuma, Arizona.

"The number one public safety risk and environmental harm has come from inaction by the federal government to secure our border," Ducey wrote, with the January 2021 halt in the building of Trump’s border wall resulting in "an ever-increasing number of migrants who continue to flow into the state."

Too F N bad! The federal government won’t do anything about it so Ducey is stepping up and filling a 2 year old promise SenMarkKelly doesn’t have the BALLS to do.

Are these the same lands the feds refuse to protect?

Wow. They'll sue the state of Arizona for trespassing, but let millions of illegals cross the border without arresting them. The fine for each person is up to $1000 and a maximum of 12 months in jail. But no, the Fed's will detain them and ship them off to another state.

But they couldn’t care less about the massive election fraud committed by Hobbs and her cronies.

It's our Constitutional right. Why don't they want us to protect our Country?

Can AZ counter sue Biden for failing to protect the border? They Should Sad Biden and the dems caused this fiasco and sue a state for taking matters in house. What will ultra lib Hobb's do? My guess be a lackey to the dem lib narrative, just just like Sen. Kelly.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FJB

Counter sue, for not protecting the borders. Although, I am sure Hobs won't, by the time this goes to court.

Wow! The fucking government wouldn’t want shit at the border! I mean hell Joe Biden won’t visit that motherfucker either, but they want to control it when it comes to us trying to keep ourselves safe. Ain’t this a bitch

Ghetto ducey

Outgoing Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey Is Building Illegal Border WallThe outgoing Republican Governor of Arizona is spending nearly $100 million in his final weeks in office to erect a makeshift border wall out of shipping containers and barbed wire that are being placed on federal and tribal lands. Rump could have done that at twice the price. This has the earmarks of another Ducey graft. The GOP is little more than a crime family with access to our tax dollars and AG Mayes should investigate this waste of money to see if and how much money is funneled back to corrupt politicians.
