For Star subscribers: Incoming Gov. Katie Hobbs says she'll halt construction of a wall of shipping containers on the border. But as for taking the containers down? That's another question.
Howard Fischer Incoming Gov. Katie Hobbs says she will halt any further work on building a wall of storage containers on the border with Mexico.Hobbs said this isn't just a matter of the state acting illegally. She said the maneuver by lame-duck Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in August to put a double-high wall of containers along stretches of the border after President Joe Biden halted the wall being built by former President Donald Trump makes no sense.
But as for taking the containers down, that, for the moment, is another question. An aide to Hobbs said there has been no decision.The funds Ducey is using on the project come from a $335 million appropriation approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature. Hobbs' comments put her on the same side of the legal fight as the federal government. At that point, the state's legal fight should go away.Ducey has gotten praise for the ersatz wall from Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot, a Republican, who says it has helped keep Yuma safe and"helps put a stop to the revolving door for cartels that has been the southern border.'' Fellow Republican Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels also is supportive.
"What they're doing is illegal,'' he said."That would be my intent, to charge them with illegal dumping." He said it's no different than if anyone else left something on federal land.
