The Biden administration is accusing the office of Arizona GOP Gov. Doug Ducey of trespassing for placing shipping containers along the state’s border with Mexico.
Ducey’s office was informed by the Interior Department in a letter on Friday, according to ADN America.
The letter was sent to the state’s departments of Homeland Security and Emergency and Military Affairs.
“The unauthorized placement of those containers constitutes a violation of federal law and is a trespass against the United States,” the letter reads. “That trespass is harming federal lands and resources and impeding Reclamation’s ability to perform its mission.”
The letter asks that the containers be removed and that no new ones be added. It also states some are on the edge of an American Indian reservation and that the federal government either has a contract to fill the gaps or plans to do so, and that the containers are in the way of those projects.
Ducey used an executive order in August to start putting the containers along the southwest U.S. border.
There are now about 122 such containers along the border.
“Arizona has had enough,” Ducey said at the time, amid calls for the administration to stop the flow of illegal border crossings. “We can’t wait any longer.”
“For the last two years, Arizona has made every attempt to work with Washington to address the crisis on our border,” the statement continued. “Time and time again we’ve stepped in to clean up their mess. Arizonans can’t wait any longer for the federal government to deliver on their delayed promises.”
Ducey as of Monday afternoon had yet to respond the the administration’s request.

Wake up Americans, our Country, America is now a third world country. The Democrats does not care as long as they are in Power and Wealthy. They care less if you are starving, struggling or poor. I pray to God that Americans would wake up before it is too late.
IT IS TRES PASS IF AN AMERICAN DOES IT ,BUT NO PROBLEM WHEN SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY DOES IT ,, NO PROBLEM.. THESE IODITS HAVE GOT TO GO. THEY DO NOT FOLLOW AMERICA LAW. THEY SHOULD BEHIND BARS.
If the state of Arizona is “trespassing”, which I speciously doubt, then what are the illegal aliens doing when they cross the border? As usual, the idiots in Washington cannot do anything right.
We want our border safe in Arizona and if the Federal Gov would do their job it would have been already. President Trump had it almost done, then Senile Biden came in and stopped it. Lets send the next few busloads to his home in Delaware. See how he likes it.
Has a trespass notice been issued to the millions of non-American intruders all across Americas Southern border? If not, the bureocrat who unashamedly sent this email to Gov. Ducky must be Uber-Woke…unless they did indeed send others similar emails. Has any Democratic politician since the advent of the Biden/Harris administration said anything to protect our sovereignty? Maybe they think they live in Cuba or Somolia.
