Makeshift container wall at Arizona-Mexico border to be dismantled
Authorities in the US state of Arizona have agreed to remove a wall made of shipping containers at the Mexican border following protests.
Arizona shares a 600km border with Mexico. Fences have been built along large stretches of it since 2017, when Donald Trump became president. However, the US government sued Mr Ducey last week, claiming the seven-kilometre wall was trespassing on federal land because the proper authorisation hadn't been sought.
The Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group that operates locally, had also filed two lawsuits against the wall.
