Governor Doug Ducey has issued an executive order to fill a thousand-foot gap in the U.S.-Mexico border wall near Yuma.
It directs the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to place 60 double stacked shipping containers reaching more than 20 feet in height topped with concertina wire in between panels of the border wall built during the Trump administration.
Construction began Friday morning.
The project will cost the state $6 million. Ducey blasted what he called the Biden administration’s lack of urgency on border security and says large amounts of drugs and migrants enter the U.S. through the border wall gap.
