A legal challenge has been mounted against the Department of Homeland Security's proposal to build a 62-mile barrier along the Mexican border. Tribal officials filed suit, claiming the proposal constitutes an illegal trespass on their land. Katie Hobbs, the Governor of Arizona, is involved in the dispute, stating she is siding with the Tohono O’odham Nation to delay the work. Hobbs is seeking a court order to halt construction while the issues are addressed.
