Border Wall Blasts In Arizona: DHS Waivers Speed CBP Construction Through Jaguar Habitat

New video captured by the Center for Biological Diversity shows construction crews detonating blasts along the edge of Coronado National Memorial in southeastern Arizona as DHS waivers fast‑track CBP’s new double border wall. Dust and debris drift over federally designated critical habitat for endangered jaguars, Mexican spotted owls and rare plants, with quarrying and bulldozing underway in the Huachuca Mountains/San Rafael Valley corridor. Conservation groups warn the accelerated construction fragments a key cross‑border wildlife route and are pursuing legal action.
