#ContainerWall [Ongoing thread!] [Edit Dec 18: We won! But read the thread or the story on my website] On my way to the US-Mexico border, where the Arizona governor is building an illegal shipping container wall. Protesters have shut it down for now. I'll be posting photos, depending on cell coverage. Should be there in about an hour and a half, just before sunset.

Attached: 1 image The main focus of the protests is the environmental destruction created by the building of the AZ Governor Ducey's container wall. It is being carried out willy-nilly, at breakneck speed with no federal permits, despite being on National Forest land. Or, rather, they were building it until protesters stepped in, and blockaded the construction. The construction crews have shown no regard for environmental standards, pushing dirt into streams and bulldozing oak trees. #BorderWall #border

News update! Just north of Huachuca city, on Hwy 90, there is a massive shipping container storage yard. There is a frantic effort being made right now to remove all the containers. Road crews have even blocked off one entire lane of traffic to allow trucks to come and go unimpeded.

The containers are being taken to the Arizona State Prison Complex at Tucson, according to someone who followed one of the trucks.

Dawn this morning at Ocelot Camp on the US-Mexico border where the #JunkWall #ContainerWall has been stopped by protesters for over a week now.

The snow has turned the construction road along the wall into an impassible quagmire, making any further work all but impossible for at least the next several days.

Early morning campfire foot warming at Ocelot Camp. Temperatures are expected to drop even lower tonight. I went up to Montezuma Pass to get cell coverage to do a few posts and already it is in the 20s just after sunset.

There has been a steady stream of people coming and going from Tucson and other parts of Arizona, bringing supplies and occupying the camp. There are never fewer than four or five people.

We are not leaving till the #JunkWall is officially stopped.

Aerial view of the #JunkWall #ContainerWall along the US-Mexico border after last night's snowstorm.

Ocelot Camp, the name given to the protest encampment is visible as a collection of tents and vehicles on the left, between the wall and the staging area full of shipping containers.

You can see the heavy equipment in the middle of the container lot, where the contractors left them, watched by security guards in trucks.

Temperatures are supposed to be even colder tonight, but no more snow.

Tuesday Dec. 13th. The #JunkWall protest camp endured a night of the snow and temps in the 20s.

Woke up to several inches of snow so, of course we made a snow protester!

The border road is now a quagmire of thick slimy mud, effectively shutting down the possibility of further work for many days. Even the Border Patrol won't try to drive it. Mother Nature has joined the protest!
