Experts say the building of the 30 foot high border wall has depleted groundwater levels in Arizona, putting several endangered and threatened species at further risk of being wiped out.
The Trump administration suspended 28 federal laws that protect clean air, clean water, public lands and endangered wildlife in October, including the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, National Fish and Wildlife Act and Migratory Bird Conservation Act.
Arizona activists and leaders, including Democratic Congressman Raúl Grijalva, gathered in Tucson to protest the wall earlier this month. "Through environmental waivers and stolen funds, he's building a wall that would divide families, further militarize our communities, and destroy the environmental treasures that make the borderlands unique. I'm grateful to the activists, organizations, and individuals united against this monstrosity, and will continue working to oppose funding for Trump's useless border wall.
