The city of San Diego is suing the federal government over their construction of wire fencing on city-owned land in Marron Valley, near the U.S.-Mexico border.

The lawsuit accuses federal agencies of trespassing and causing environmental damage on protected land.

"They are taking city property without telling us, without paying for it, without even communicating about it," said San Diego City Attorney Heather Ferbert. "They have to comply with the Constitution, even though they're the federal government. They're not exempt from that."

On Midday Edition, we breakdown the lawsuit and the allegations.
