Southern Arizona leaders took a strong, mostly symbolic stance against construction of a physical barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, one of President Donald Trump’s signature proposals.
It kicked off Tuesday morning with the Pima County Board of Supervisors. The Democratic-majority chamber adopted a resolution opposing construction of a physical barrier along the border, the first action of its kind in Arizona.
Hours later, the Tucson City Council joined a growing list of left-leaning cities and states that, since Election Day, have voiced opposition to the proposed wall by debating or passing measures to target the companies vying to work on the wall.
