Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered President-elect Donald Trump 1,402 acres of land in Starr County, near the U.S.-Mexico border, to support mass deportation operations and border security efforts. The land, recently purchased by the Texas General Land Office, could be leased as a deportation hub or used to build detention facilities and a new border wall in the Rio Grande Valley. This offer aims to aid the incoming administration's plans for conducting the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in U.S. history. Buckingham sent a letter to President-elect Trump on Tuesday, expressing Texas's commitment to assist in his immigration initiatives. Former ICE Director Tom Homan is expected to play a role in these mass deportation efforts.
