The Texas General Land Office said it has offered President-elect Donald Trump a 1,400-acre ranch in a county located near the U.S.–Mexico border to build centers for mass deportations.

Land Office Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said in a Nov. 19 letter to the president-elect that the land in Starr County was recently purchased by the state.
