Gallery: Concertina wire on the border fence
- Updated
- Comments
After stringing two rows of concertina wire atop the border fence in Nogales starting on Election Day 2018, military troops returned the first week of February 2019 to add up to four more coils, covering the barrier top to bottom in some areas.
This section of fence on the east side of the city over the Tricky Wash was painted white last year to help the Border Patrol better spot fence-climbers. Seen in this photo from Feb. 7, three rows of concertina wire had been added to the barrier.
