The incoming 'border czar' under President-elect Donald Trump, Tom Homan, revealed plans to utilize 1,400 acres of land offered by Texas officials to construct deportation buildings. Homan stated that he is currently drafting the plan for these facilities, emphasizing the need for efficient processing and coordination of deportations.
According to a letter reviewed, Texas officials extended the offer of land on the southern border for the potential construction of deportation facilities. The Texas Land Commissioner expressed readiness to collaborate with federal agencies in creating a facility designed for the processing, detention, and coordination of what is described as the 'largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.'
When questioned about the duration of migrants' stay in these proposed facilities, Homan explained that individuals would be constantly moving in and out. He highlighted the flexibility of the setup, mentioning flights to various destinations such as El Salvador and Asia on different days. Homan praised the availability of the 1,400 acres of land from Texas, emphasizing the cost-saving aspect and efficiency in avoiding delays associated with government land acquisitions.
Throughout his campaign, President Trump vowed to take a tough stance on immigration and implement mass deportation measures targeting undocumented individuals. In a recent interview, Trump indicated that the deportation efforts would primarily focus on individuals with criminal backgrounds. However, he hinted at the possibility of extending deportations beyond criminals, without specifying the criteria for targeting 'other people outside of criminals.'
As the Trump administration gears up for its immigration enforcement strategies, the proposed deportation facilities on Texas land signify a significant step towards fulfilling the President-elect's promises regarding border security and deportation policies.
