(Worthy News) – The Texas Land Commissioner has contacted President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration to say that the state will make available more than 1,400 acres of land to serve as a landing stage on which detention centers could be built to facilitate what Trump promised would be the largest mass deportation of undocumented people in US history.
In a letter shown exclusively to Fox News Digital, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offers the new Trump administration 1,402 acres of ranch land in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley sector near Texas’ border with Mexico.
Buckingham explains in her letter that she is “fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”
“What I care about is that we have safe communities, and there is no doubt that we are losing too many of our children to these violent criminals that are coming across the border,” Buckingham added during an interview with Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“I am 100% on board with the Trump administration’s pledge to get these criminals out of our country, and we are more than happy to offer our resources to facilitate those deportations of these violent criminals,” Buckingham said.
