Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said in the Tuesday letter that her office is “fully prepared” to enter an agreement with any federal agencies involved in deporting individuals from the country “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.”

The state recently bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley and announced plans to build a border wall on it. The previous owner had not let the state construct a wall there and had “actively blocked law enforcement from accessing the property,” according to the letter the GLO sent Trump.

Per TPR:

The first mass deportation camp in the coming Donald Trump presidency could be built in the Rio Grande Valley, with the State of Texas providing the land.

The State of Texas recently purchased 1,400 acres of farmland right on the Rio Grande in Starr County. Now the Texas General Land Office is offering it to President-elect Donald Trump for a mass deportation detention center. There has been no indication if the Trump administration will take Texas up on this offer.

Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham made the offer Tuesday to Trump in a letter saying her agency is ready to work with the federal government as it begins deporting illegal immigrants.

Buckingham told Fox News that Texas will begin building a border wall on that property, and she realized there was plenty of land for a deportation camp and processing center.

Mass deportation was a main Trump campaign promise. This week, Trump confirmed once in office he will declare illegal immigration a national emergency and use the military for a mass deportation operation.
