Former Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s border barrier of shipping containers has been largely dismantled in time for a new Democratic administration, costing tens of millions of dollars over just a few months as they were set up and taken down again.
Removal of the hulking red, gold and blue steel boxes is creating a stark visual shift in affected sections of Arizona’s southern landscape as a new governor takes power and another $76 million in state funds is spent to remove the containers on top of the $95 million it cost to put them there.
An agreement between Ducey’s administration and the federal agencies named in his lawsuit called for the containers to come down by Wednesday, the day before Hobbs’s inauguration. But the court later stayed all deadlines in the case by 30 days to give Hobbs and new Attorney General Kris Mayes time to review the situation.
The U.S. Border Patrol announced Friday that construction to close the gap near the Morelos Dam will begin next week, noting that the swift-moving Colorado River poses potential hazards for drowning and other injuries for migrants and the agency’s own personnel. "I’m hoping she makes her way here sooner rather than later," he said. "We still feel like it’s an emergency."Under Ducey, Arizona was busing hundreds of migrants from the Yuma area to the U.S. capital.
