The state of Texas has offered President-elect Donald Trump over 1,400 acres to conduct its mass deportation operation — and incoming Border Czar Tom Homan says they “absolutely” accept.

The land is available to be used for “processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history,” according to the Texas Land Commissioner.

Homan discussed the offer during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Wednesday.

“We absolutely will. When we find somebody, a targeted enforcement operation when they get arrested, they’ll be detained,” Homan said.

“They have to be detained for a short time while we get travel documents from their host country. [The] host country has to agree that, ‘yeah, they’re our national’ – we get travel documents. We get flight arrangements, flight agreements. So we’re going to detain them for a little while,” Homan explained.

Homan also discussed liberal areas passing “sanctuary city” laws and vowing not to cooperate with the deportations.

“Sanctuary states said they’re not allowing any detention facilities in their state — fine. Then we’ll arrest them. We’ll fly them out of the state and detain them outside the state, again, away — away from their families, their attorneys,” Homan asserted. “That’s what you want, that’s what you get.”

“You’re not going to stop us doing what we’re going to do,” Homan continued. “So we’ll move them to a state where we can detain them. There’s plenty of sheriffs across this country who are willing to give us empty beds. They want the funding and we can put them in a jail all across the country.”

According to a report from Fox News, “Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has written to President-elect Donald Trump offering him the land in Starr County, which the state purchased from a ranch owner in October. The 1,402 acres are in the Rio Grande Valley sector near the border.”

The letter said that the land commissioner is “fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”

“What I care about is that we have safe communities, and there is no doubt that we are losing too many of our children to these violent criminals that are coming across the border,” Buckingham told Fox News. “I am 100% on board with the Trump administration’s pledge to get these criminals out of our country, and we are more than happy to offer our resources to facilitate those deportations of these violent criminals.”
Buckingham said the land is perfect for the facility.

“Right now, it’s essentially farmland, so it’s flat, it’s easy to build on. We could very easily put a detention center on there, a holding place as we get these criminals out of our country,” she said. “It’s accessible to international airports as well as a major crossing over the river. And so we’re just happy to get help, do anything we can to get these violent criminals off of our soil.”
