Since August, Ducey has spent $82 million in his efforts to fill gaps in the border barrier with containers. To date, he has covered approximately 1,800 feet -- or 182 containers -- in the Yuma, Arizona, region and about 3.5 miles in Cochise County with 982 containers, a spokesperson for the governor said.
"The Forest Service did not authorize this occupancy and use," Dewberry wrote then, urging Ducey to obtain a permit before continuing the work. "For more than a year, the federal government has been touting their effort to resume construction of a permanent border barrier. Finally, after the situation on our border has turned into a full blown crisis, they've decided to act. Better late than never. We're working with the federal government to ensure they can begin construction of this barrier with the urgency this problem demands," Karamargin said.
"Our border communities are overwhelmed by illegal activity as a result of the Biden administration's failure to secure the southern border," he said in a statement announcing his suit. Cocopah Public Safety Director Paul De Anda previously said the containers have "compromised our mission."
