Arizona governor puts more containers along Mexican border

Mon, October 24, 2022 at 8:23 PM

PHOENIX (AP) — The state of Arizona has begun installing shipping containers along another section of the U.S.-Mexico border to fill gaps that aren't covered by a border wall.

The move announced by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey on Monday to install stacks of containers in Cochise County in south-eastern Arizona came two weeks after federal officials told him to remove containers he had placed along the border in southwestern Arizona.

Ducey sued in federal court on Friday, asking a court to allow the state to keep more than 100 double-stacked containers topped with razor wire in place near the community of Yuma, which sits near the California border. It also mentions U.S. Forest Service land where the new containers are being placed hundreds of miles (kilometers) to the east.

The containers near Yuma were placed in August to fill gaps in the border wall as Ducey ratcheted up political posturing against what he called the inaction of the Biden Administration in stopping migrants from entering the state from Mexico.

1. Ducey needs to go back to selling ice cream

2. My friend used to live in a container. He fixed it up nice.

In Naco, Mexico, which is on the border here in Cochise County, many people live in old railroad boxcars.
I wouldn't be surprised if folks cut doors in the south side of those containers and move in to live.

6. Biden told him to remove them. He is defying an order by his president. I guess the only way

they will come down is if the national guard with the army corp of engineers comes in and takes them away. I don't think the Texas guard would fire on the National Guard but they are cray cray down there.
