Texas Offers Land for Trump's Planned Mass Deportation Centers

The state proposes a 567-hectare site near the Mexico border to support Donald Trump's ambitious deportation plans set to begin on his first day in office.

• Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered a newly acquired 567-hectare property along the Rio Grande to the incoming Trump administration for deportation operations.
• The site, located in Starr County, is described as strategically advantageous due to its proximity to airports and a bridge to Mexico, despite lacking infrastructure like paved roads.
• Donald Trump's transition team has reiterated plans for the largest mass deportation in U.S. history, targeting roughly 11 million undocumented migrants starting on day one of his presidency.
• Trump's immigration strategy will be led by hardliners including Tom Homan as 'border czar' and Stephen Miller, who is set to become White House deputy chief of staff.
• Texas has long supported strict border policies, including erecting razor wire fences and passing laws allowing law enforcement to detain migrants crossing the border illegally.
