For Star subscribers: The state already has 130 shipping containers stacked on federal land near the U.S.-Mexico border in Yuma.
Danyelle Khmara The state of Arizona continues to stack shipping containers on federal land as a border security measure, now in protected public lands.
Karamargin said Friday that he believes the containers are in a staging area on Forest Service land near a 20-mile gap between sections of the border wall. The barrier in Yuma doesn’t actually stop migrants from coming into the country. That's because the the southern side the container barrier is on U.S. soil, meaning Border Patrol has to process people waiting there. And more people have been crossing nearby on the Cocopah Reservation where there is no wall.
The area they’re looking at is about a 20-mile gap in the western-most part of Cochise County where there is no existing border barrier, he said. That part of the county on the border is in the Coronado National Forest. The state doesn’t know yet how much of that gap they plan to fill. Although the state does not have permission from the federal government to put such a structure on federal land, the governor’s office hasn’t heard from the federal government on this matter, Karamargin says.
