Arizona Rejects Biden Administration’s Demand To Remove Shipping Container Border Barrier
https://www.dailywire.com/...
Governor Doug Ducey (R-AZ) has refused to comply to a demand by the Biden administration to remove shipping containers that are being used to block a portion of the state’s border with Mexico.
The Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs sent a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on Tuesday to inform the administration that the state will not remove the containers until a permanent barrier is constructed.
“Arizonans cannot — and will not — wait for federal bureaucrats to do their job and secure the border. We’re taking action now,” Ducey tweeted Wednesday.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation claimed in a letter last week that Arizona was violating federal law by placing the containers on federal land and on the land of Cocopah Indian Tribe’s West Reservation, the Associated Press reported Monday.
“The unauthorized placement of those containers constitutes a violation of federal law and is a trespass against the United States,” the letter read. “That trespass is harming federal lands and resources and impeding Reclamation’s ability to perform its mission.”
