Already the state has offered up a 1,402-acre ranch on the Rio Grande as a site for detention facilities, and it is ready to share its playbook for muscling through immigration policy changes, such as its executive order requiring hospitals to determine a patient’s immigration status and a measure that would allow police officers to arrest illegal immigrants and empower state judges to order mass deportations.

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham last week announced an initiative to identify land within the 13 million acres owned by the agency that the Trump administration could use for deportation operations, including the recently acquired ranch along the Rio Grande.

“We’re actively looking at properties around the state for the Trump administration,” Buckingham told NBC News.

“We’ve identified several properties in the El Paso area that we think are also a good, natural fit,” as well as in some suburban areas, like Butch Uncle and Phantasmal's neighborhoods.
