Texas Aligns with Trump on Border Policies, Offers Land for Deportation Efforts

Texas is shifting from a contentious relationship with the Biden administration over border security to becoming a model for the incoming Trump administration's immigration plans. Governor Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star, which includes measures like transporting migrants to Democratic cities and setting up border patrols, is being eyed by Trump's team as a blueprint for state cooperation in enforcing immigration laws. This pivot comes amid ongoing legal battles between Texas and the federal government over state-led immigration enforcement initiatives.
