New jaguar identified as DHS plans border wall
Dec 4, 2025 · Arizona-Sonora border, Arizona
Conservationists at the UA Wild Cat Research and Conservation Center identified a new jaguar named Cinco roaming mountains near the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona. The Trump administration intensified border wall construction and waived environmental laws including the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act. Construction projects aimed to close gaps in the border wall across the El Paso, Tucson, and Yuma sectors.
