Outgoing Arizona governor Doug Ducey’s final months in office included the construction of a border wall made from shipping containers. But Santa Cruz county Sheriff David Hathaway says the Republican politician has gone too far.
On Aug. 24, Ducey’s office announced “3,820 feet of previously open border near Yuma, Arizona, is now closed with a barrier of double-stacked and secured shipping containers.”
The governor said a “historic investment” made possible by legislative leaders made the barrier possible to erect in just 11 days. He also declared the federal government had “failed to” secure his state’s border with Mexico.
