“We have 13 million acres around the state, and if there’s something that meets the federal government’s needs, we want them to be able to utilize that,” Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said.
Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham speaks at a news conference held at a state-acquired ranch in Rio Grande City on Tuesday. Buckingham promised Texas would provide the incoming Trump administration more land to stage mass deportations.— a weekly dispatch about the people, places and policies defining Texas, produced by Texas Tribune journalists living in communities across the state.
“We have 13 million acres around the state, and if there’s something that meets the federal government’s needs, we want them to be able to utilize that,” Buckingham told the Tribune. Starr County is also unique in the Valley in that it is home to sprawling hills unlike the flatlands that characterize the rest of the region. On one hill overlooking the city, stands a white cross that evokes the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro.
