President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar is planning on using a 1,400-acre site in Texas to stage the administration’s plans to conduct mass deportations of illegal aliens.

The state of Texas purchased the land earlier this year in Starr County, which is in the Rio Grande Valley sector near the U.S.-Mexico border.

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said in a letter to Trump last month that her office was “fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”

When asked by Dr. Phil McGraw on “Dr. Phil Primetime” if the administration had “a plan to utilize” the land, Homan said: “I’m writing the plan as we speak.”

“I was working on it last night, matter of fact,” he said. “Look, Governor Abbott has done more to secure this border than anybody in this administration. Every ounce of fentanyl his troopers seize is less overdose deaths across the nation. Every person they arrest for trespass, at least they vet them, they fingerprint them, make sure they’re not releasing an unknown terrorist.”

Homan said that illegal aliens who are taken to the site will be “moving in and out,” not staying there for extended periods of time.

“One day we have a flight to the El Salvador nations,” he said. “Next day we have a flight to Asia. So we’ll be moving through, but I think there’s 1,400 acres of land. That saves us from acquiring that land. The government never buys things real fast. And when we do, we overpay for it. So having this from the state of Texas is great.”
