Texas is preparing extensively for Trump's large-scale deportation initiative

Republican leaders in the state assert that Texas is prepared to serve as both the blueprint and the focal point under the incoming administration's intensified measures on immigration.

As Donald Trump's adversaries criticize his proposed "mass deportations" and strict border policies, Republican leaders in this state are competing to position Texas as the starting point.

Gov. For the past four years, Greg Abbott and other key officials have actively established themselves as staunch adversaries of the Biden administration, positioning themselves as the leading challengers while continuing the border enforcement efforts initiated during the previous Trump administration. Although lacking constitutional authority over immigration enforcement, they have leveraged state resources to significantly intensify efforts.
