Summary
Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has proposed 1,400 acres in Starr County for deportation facilities under President-elect Trump, highlighting the state’s commitment to border security. The land, located near the U.S.-Mexico border, had been acquired for potential border wall construction and is seen as strategically advantageous. Buckingham has expressed full support for Trump’s immigration agenda, contrasting sharply with opposition from Democratic states focused on sanctuary policies. Trump's transition team has yet to respond to the offer, which presents logistical challenges and legal hurdles for mass deportations.
