Tom Homan, the incoming 'border czar' under President-elect Donald Trump, has revealed plans to utilize 1,400 acres of land offered by Texas officials to construct deportation buildings. In an interview, Homan mentioned that he is currently drafting the plan and had been working on it diligently.
Last month, Texas officials extended an offer of 1,400 acres of land along the southern border for potential use by the Trump administration in establishing deportation facilities. Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham expressed readiness to engage in an agreement with federal agencies, emphasizing that the facility would cater to the processing, detention, and coordination of what is projected to be the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history.
When questioned about the duration migrants would spend in the proposed deportation facilities, Homan indicated that the process would involve swift movements. He explained that individuals could be relocated to various destinations, such as El Salvador or Asia, on consecutive days. Homan highlighted the advantage of having the 1,400 acres of land provided by Texas, stating that it eliminates the need for the government to acquire land, a process that can be time-consuming and costly.
Throughout his campaign, President-elect Trump vowed to take a tough stance on immigration and implement mass deportations of undocumented individuals. In an interview, Trump emphasized that the deportation efforts would primarily target individuals with criminal backgrounds. However, he hinted at the possibility of extending deportations beyond criminals, without specifying the additional categories of individuals who might be affected. When pressed on whether his administration intends to deport all individuals who entered the country illegally, Trump affirmed the necessity of such actions.
