Texas Offers Land for Deportation Facilities

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered President-elect Donald Trump 1,400 acres in Starr County for the construction of deportation facilities as part of his mass deportation agenda. The property, which was initially acquired for building a border wall, is intended to help process and detain undocumented immigrants, aligning with Trump's promise to initiate the largest deportation program in U.S. history upon taking office. Buckingham emphasized her commitment to border security, claiming that the previous landowner's refusal to cooperate enabled criminal activity. Critics, however, argue that the proposed mass deportations are impractical and would incur significant costs. The offer reinforces Texas's role as a supporter of strict immigration enforcement amid a national debate over the treatment of undocumented immigrants. Questions remain regarding the feasibility of detaining millions and the logistics involved in such a large-scale operation.
