Texas Leases 1,400 Acres in Starr County for Trump's Mass Deportation Plans
Dec 11, 2024, 04:26 AM
Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has announced that the state is offering over 1,400 acres of public land in Starr County along the U.S.-Mexico border for use by President-elect Donald Trump's administration in its planned crackdown on undocumented immigrants. The land has been accepted by Tom Homan, the incoming 'border czar', for potential mass deportations. This initiative is part of Trump's broader strategy to enhance border security and manage immigration enforcement. The Texas General Land Office has confirmed that the land will be leased for these operations, with assurances that the move will not affect local school funding or safety.
