“19 miles of Wall near Douglas,AZ. has begun.”
Great news! Thanks.
That is part of the projects funded with DoD Counter-Narcotics funds. The 63 total miles in Arizona from those funds is still subject to a nuisance lawsuit, based on the use of environmental waivers (which has already been upheld in CA, NM and TX).
In the court filings, CBP said they would do the two miles around the Lukeville Port of Entry by October first, and start their two big runs after that day.
The fact that they started the run from Douglas, means that the rest of Organ Pipe/Cabeza Prieta is probably now underway as well. It is all scheduled to complete in 2020.
