The Application
DHS constructed razor wire fencing on land owned by the City of San Diego without city approval; the case requires balancing the federal government's border security authority against the city's property rights and determining whether the construction constitutes a compensable taking or an unlawful invasion of property.
The Conclusion
The case remains active before Judge Andrew G. Schopler in the Central District of California; resolution will depend on whether the court recognizes a valid takings claim, the scope of federal border authority over municipal property, and whether removal or compensation is required.
