Texas General Land Office to unveil proposed 1,402-acre site for immigrant detention
SUMMARY: The Texas General Land Office is proposing a 1,400-acre ranch in Star County as a potential site for housing migrants before their deportation. A drone view revealed minimal structures, just fields and a road, with cement trucks seen entering the property. The Office sent President-elect Donald Trump a letter suggesting the ranch for detention centers. A political science professor raised concerns about the feasibility of detaining millions of people in such a limited space. Trump has yet to comment. A news conference is scheduled to provide further details, and local residents will discuss the implications of the new administration for the border area.
The Texas General Land Office will unveil on Tuesday an area it has offered to the Trump administration for housing undocumented immigrants before deportation.
