I will continue to push back against these projects and against the idea that federal agencies can come into our communities, spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on wasteful projects, and simply ignore the people who will have to live with the consequences.
Continue to push back against proposed expansion and establishment of Border Patrol checkpoints in Southern Arizona.

AZPM/LOOKOUT reported that a CBP scoping letter dated August 21, 2026 said CBP was preparing an Environmental Assessment for a roughly 87-acre Border Patrol station near Three Points, and that the proposal was in addition to plans to expand a Border Patrol checkpoint on I-19 south of Tucson.
Assessments
Grijalva took same-term action directly aligned with the promise by publicly condemning the proposed expansion of Border Patrol checkpoints in Southern Arizona on September 11, 2026. However, the available evidence shows the checkpoint/station expansion process was still in planning and environmental review, with no indication that the expansion or establishment was stopped or materially constrained. This supports credit for continued pushback, but not full delivery of the broader opposition goal.
