Texas unveiled its newly acquired border ranch — offered as the site of detention facilities to help the Trump administration with proposed mass deportations — and Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said Tuesday the state is looking to identify additional land to aid the federal effort.
The General Land Office has more than 13 million acres of land under its jurisdiction, Buckingham said.
“If the Trump administration thinks it’ll be helpful, we want to be good partners with them,” she said.
The effort, known as the Jocelyn Initiative, is named for Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Houston girl who was killed in June. Two Venezuelan immigrants who were in the country illegally have been charged with murder and sexual assault.
