Texas has announced its support for President-elect Donald Trump's deportation initiatives by allocating approximately 1,400 acres of unused land for a deportation processing facility. The facility, to be built in Starr County, will be used for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history.

Trump has consistently voiced strong opinions on illegal immigration in the United States, promising to declare a national emergency to fulfill his campaign pledge of deporting migrants living in the U.S. without legal documentation. The move has sparked controversy, with critics labeling the actions as racist and urging a more lenient approach.

Immigration advocacy groups and Democratic leaders are preparing to challenge Trump's plan, drafting lawsuits that could be filed as soon as he takes office. The lawsuits aim to disrupt Trump's plan to carry out what he calls "the largest deportation operation" in the country's history. The development has significant implications for the tech and startup community, particularly those involved in immigration and border control technologies.
