Arizona to remove container wall from border

Arizona will take down a makeshift wall made of shipping containers at the Mexico border. The Biden administration and the Republican governor entered into an agreement that Arizona will cease installing the containers in the Coronado National Forest. 

The agreement also calls for Arizona to remove the containers that were already installed in the remote San Rafael Valley, in southeastern Cochise County, and in the Yuma area. All this must be done by Jan. 4 without damaging any natural resources. State agencies will have to consult with U.S. Forest Service representatives.
