Fight over Arizona’s shipping container border wall ends with dismissal of federal lawsuits
A long row of double-stacked shipping containers provide a new wall between the United States and Mexico in the remote section area of San Rafael Valley, Ariz., on Dec. 8, 2022. Two federal lawsuits filed over former Gov. Doug Ducey’s decision last year to place thousands of shipping containers along the U.S.-Mexico border have been dismissed after the state said it would pay the U.S. Forest Service $2.1 million to repair environmental damage. The Sept. 15, 2023, dismissal of the cases in U.S. District Court ends the fight over the double-stacked containers that were placed as a makeshift border wall. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)
