Trump’s Deportation Operation Just Got Much Bigger
In a bold move to tackle illegal immigration, Texas has offered a 1,400-acre ranch to the incoming Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals and illegal immigrants. Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham sent a letter to President-elect Trump, expressing the state’s readiness to collaborate on a plan to build a facility for processing, detaining, and deporting violent criminals from the U.S.
Located in Starr County near the Texas-Mexico border, the land was recently purchased by the state from a ranch owner. Buckingham emphasized that the site, situated in the Rio Grande Valley, is well-suited for the construction of a detention center. “This land is prime for development and could easily accommodate a facility dedicated to holding and processing criminal aliens,” she said. The location’s proximity to major international airports and a key border crossing makes it an ideal spot for such an operation.
In a Fox News interview, Buckingham made it clear that Texas is committed to supporting the Trump administration’s effort to rid the country of dangerous criminals. “We are losing too many children to these violent criminals crossing our border,” she said. “We’re more than happy to offer our resources to help deport these criminals and restore safety to our communities.”
Texas has long been on the frontlines of the immigration battle. Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star has been a significant initiative, costing $11 billion to bolster border security and push back against the Biden administration’s immigration policies. With President Trump set to take office, a swift and aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration is expected. Trump’s executive actions will likely include declaring a national emergency and deploying military resources to aid in deportations.
The Trump administration’s focus on removing violent criminals and securing the border resonates strongly with conservative voters, who are demanding action to safeguard the nation from the rising tide of illegal immigration and crime. This Texas proposal is just one example of how states are stepping up to help enforce immigration laws and protect American citizens.
