The Texas Land Commissioner has offered President-elect Donald Trump 1,402 acres along the U.S.–Mexico border near Rio Grande City to build deportation facilities as part of his mass deportation plan.
In a letter, sent to Trump on Tuesday, commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered up a recently acquired plot of land located in Starr County to build facilities that will help law enforcement coordinate, process and detain undocumented immigrants. The exact plot offered has not been revealed.
“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote in the letter.
She told Fox News she fully supports Trump’s efforts to deport every undocumented immigrant – a promise he made the cornerstone of his presidential campaign.
