Texas Scorecard by Will Biagini November 20, 2024
Land Commissioner Buckingham previously permitted a section of border wall to be constructed on the ranch after the General Land Office acquired it last year. Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered a sizable plot of land in Starr County to President-elect Donald Trump to construct deportation facilities.
Buckingham formally made the offer in a Tuesday letter addressed to Trump.
Located 25 miles west of McAllen, the 1,402-acre ranch was acquired by the General Land Office in October 2023. Shortly afterward, Buckingham granted the Texas Facilities Commission permission to begin construction of a border wall.
The land commissioner said that her office is prepared to cooperate with the federal government to utilize the plot of land to facilitate the mass deportation of illegal aliens.
