Are mass deportation facilities coming to Texas? The Texas Land Commissioner, Dawn Buckingham, on Wednesday announced that she had sent a letter offering 1,400 acres of land in Texas to the incoming Trump Administration for mass deportation facilities.

The land being offered is located in Starr County on land that the Texas General Land Office just recently acquired. The land is being offered so that the Trump Administration can construct deportation facilities and "staging areas" in order to "carry out the Trump Administration's plans to deport illegal immigrants beginning in 2025".

The 1,400 acre ranch in Starr County is located along the border with Mexico. The General Land Office purchased the ranch in October and gave the Texas Facilities Commission permission to begin construction on a border wall.
