In Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday signaled strong cooperation between state and federal law enforcement during a Thanksgiving dinner event in the border town of Edinburg. Abbott was joined by incoming U.S. border czar Tom Homan, who helped serve meals to Texas state troopers and National Guard members. Separately, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham on Tuesday offered the incoming Trump administration the use of up to 13 million acres of Texas land to stage mass deportations. Buckingham spoke from a Starr County ranch in the Rio Grande Valley, where Texas is currently constructing a section of border wall.
