Judge Grants Temporary Delay On Border
WASHINGTON (AP) – A federal judge temporarily delayed construction of a 1.5 mile section of a U.S.-Mexico border fence in a wildlife conservation area on the Arizona-Mexico border.
The delay announced Wednesday is good for ten days.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle says the federal government did not explain why it hurried through an environmental assessment and began construction of the fence.
Defenders of Wildlife and other groups sued the Bureau of Land Management and other agencies to halt the work.
