The initiative expanded to other parts of the border, with 6,680 feet of containers stacked two-high throughout Cochise County by early November.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit from the Biden administration came after Ducey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/arizona-rejects-biden-administrations-demand-to-remove-shipping-container-border-barrier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refused<\/a> to comply with a demand to remove the containers from federal land in Yuma County.

Karamargin said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/12\/22\/arizona-border-shipping-containers-doug-ducey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> that the barrier was a \u201cstopgap measure\u201d meant to reduce illegal border crossings until the Biden administration offered a permanent solution, details of which are reportedly forthcoming. \u201cFinally, after the situation on our border has turned into a full-blown crisis, they\u2019ve decided to act,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cBetter late than never. We\u2019re working with the federal government to ensure they can begin construction of this barrier with the urgency this problem demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes shortly after Chief Justice John Roberts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-supreme-court-blocks-key-immigration-policy-title-42-from-ending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blocked<\/a> the end of Title 42, a provision that gives commanders-in-chief the power to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/texas-governor-predicts-total-chaos-when-title-42-border-rule-ends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shut down immigration<\/a> as an emergency action to keep communicable diseases out of the United States.
