Amerika Serikat - Tembok panjang yang membentang melintasi lanskap Arizona akhirnya dibongkar. Tembok yang sedianya membendung imigran ilegal itu digugat pemerintah AS.

Workers secure one of a long row of shipping containers, stacked to create a wall between the United States and Mexico, onto a flatbed truck for removal in the Coronado National Forest near Hereford, Arizona, on January 20, 2023. - A wall of shipping containers installed just a few months ago by the then-governor of Arizona at a $100 million cost to US taxpayers was being dismantled on January 20. 
Republican Doug Ducey ordered the huge line of shipping containers to be placed at the frontier between the United States and Mexico, during the final months of his administration, in what he said was a bid to stem illegal immigration. But after being sued by Washington for putting the containers on federal land in the Coronado National Forest, Ducey -- who has since been suceeded by Democrat Katie Hobbs -- agreed in December to remove them.

Tembok panjang yang membentang melintasi lanskap Arizona ini bukanlah dinding atau pagar biasa, tetapi dibuat dari kontainer yang ditumpuk satu sama lain.

Hanya beberapa bulan sejak pembangunannya, tembok kontainer senilai USD95 juta, atau setara Rp1,4 triliun, kembali dibongkar. Pembongkaran dilakukan menyusul gugatan pemerintah AS yang menuduh tembok itu dibangun secara ilegal di atas tanah federal.

Pusat Keanekaragaman Hayati menyebut tembok kontainer itu dapat menghalangi koridor migrasi jaguar dan ocelot yang kritis. Sementara, Dinas Kehutanan AS mengatakan bahwa tembok tersebut dapat menimbulkan bahaya keamanan dan menyebutnya melanggar hukum.
