ARIZONA has begun installing shipping containers along another section of the US-Mexico border to fill gaps that aren’t covered by a border wall, reports the Associated Press.
Republican Governor Doug Ducey’s move to install containers in Cochise County in south-eastern Arizona came two weeks after federal officials told him to remove containers he placed along the border in southwestern Arizona.
Governor Ducey sued in federal court, asking a court to allow the state to keep 100 double-stacked containers topped with razor wire in place near the community of Yuma.
The containers near Yuma were placed in August to fill gaps in the border wall as Mr Ducey sought political posturing.
The new section of shipping containers is aimed at a 10-mile border section.
The border wall promoted by former President Donald Trump remains a primary issue for Republican politicians showing their support for border security.
