The lawsuit cited operational and environmental concerns as at least partial grounds for ordering Ducey to take down the wall.CJ Karamargin, a spokesperson for Ducey's office, said that the Arizona governor intended the border wall to be a "stopgap measure" and that the state would remove the containers "once the federal government ... took steps to erect a permanent barrier.
"Finally, after the situation on our border has turned into a full blown crisis, they've decided to act," Karamargin said in a statement. "Better late than never. We're working with the federal government to ensure they can begin construction of this barrier with the urgency this problem demands."Karamargin said that the final details are still being worked out on removing the structure.
