The state of Texas is offering the incoming Trump administration more than 1,400 acres of land in Starr County for its upcoming mass deportation operation. The land commissioner, Dawn Buckingham, reached out to President-elect Donald Trump, expressing willingness to cooperate with Homeland Security and ICE for the construction of a facility to process and detain violent criminals at the border.
Buckingham stated that the initiative is to prioritize safe communities and reduce criminal activity related to illegal immigration. The land was initially purchased to build a border wall, a project halted by the Biden administration. With Trump’s victory, Texas sees an opportunity to support his promise of a mass deportation operation and secure the border.
While Texas is ready to assist in deportation efforts, other states like Arizona, Illinois, and Massachusetts have indicated opposition to such plans. However, Buckingham believes that the election results demonstrate the American people’s support for tough border security measures and legal immigration policies. The Trump administration is gearing up for the operation, despite potential challenges from other states.
This move is part of Trump’s campaign promise to crack down on illegal immigration and enhance border security. The administration’s approach has been viewed favorably by many Americans, according to Buckingham. With the plan in motion, Texas stands ready to collaborate with federal agencies to facilitate the deportation of violent criminals.
