   Dec 22 (Reuters) - Arizona will remove a line of shipping   
   containers placed along the U.S.-Mexico border a week after the   
   U.S. government filed a lawsuit alleging that the makeshift wall   
   designed to deter migrants was illegally erected on federal   
   lands.   
      
   Arizona will remove the containers and the equipment, materials   
   and vehicles used to install them by early January, according to   
   an agreement between state and federal authorities reached late   
   on Wednesday and filed in the U.S. District Court for the   
   District Of Arizona.   
      
   The two sides resolved the issue two weeks before Katie Hobbs, a   
   Democrat who opposes the construction, is due to take over as   
   governor.   
      
   The current Republican governor, Doug Ducey, signed an executive   
   order in August directing a state agency to close the gaps along   
   Arizona's 370-mile (600-km) border with Mexico by double-   
   stacking the shipping containers.   
      
   "Our border communities are being used as the entryway to the   
   United States, overwhelming law enforcement, hospitals,   
   nonprofits and residents," Ducey had said when he signed the   
   executive order.   
      
   In its lawsuit, the Justice Department argued the containers   
   were illegally constructed on federal lands.   
      
   Ducey had previously said he had the right to defend the state   
   of Arizona and protect its citizens. His office had described   
   the rise in the number of migrant crossings as "ominous,"   
   threatening to overwhelm border communities.   
      
   Environmental activists opposed the improvised wall - 22 feet   
   (6.7 m) high and topped with concertina wire - as harmful to   
   local wildlife.   
      
   The work of placing up to 3,000 containers at a cost of about   
   $95 million was about a third complete.
