For the past four years, Texas has made itself an adversary of the White House on immigration. “We’re actively looking at the properties we have around the state and seeing if it works for the Trump administration,” Buckingham told NBC News.

Kimberly Hubbard, spokesperson for the Texas General Land Office, confirmed that the land will most likely not be used to house immigrant detention centers.
