WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (AZ-03) issued a statement following the news of planned legal action by the Department of Justice (DOJ)  to sue the Ducey administration for its illegal junkyard border wall:

“The Department of Justice’s decision to file suit against the Ducey administration is welcome news and long overdue. We need immediate action to finally address the illegal and useless container wall on federal and Tribal lands. Thus far, Governor Ducey has wasted $95 million in taxpayer dollars, blocked critical wildlife corridors, and manufactured a dangerous situation with unauthorized armed security personnel along our southern border. Governor Ducey is determined to leave office with a mess, and, unfortunately, it’s now up to someone else to clean it up.”
