Twenty protesters withstood freezing temperatures over the weekend to defy the project, which started in August after Ducey issued an executive order directing the state Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to fill gaps in the existing border wall in Yuma County.Ducey insists Arizona holds sole or shared jurisdiction, and he has said the state has a constitutional right to protect residents from “imminent danger of criminal and humanitarian crises.”The federal government says the land is public, and it has called the project "unlawful."“While the issues at the international border with Mexico are difficult, trespassing on and damaging the United States’ land, violating federal law, and usurping and obstructing federal agency jurisdiction and mission, are not the solution,” the motion read.Andy Kayner, who lives 10 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, said at least two of his neighbors have been “run off” the road by speeding trucks too large to maneuver the narrow lane.“It’s just a battle cry for elections.”Environmental advocates say not only that the wall is unsightly but also that it disturbs fragile ecosystems that are home to endangered species, including ocelots, jaguars and the Mexican spotted owl."
