The Texas General Land Office has offered the incoming Trump administration a 1,400-acre ranch near the U.S.-Mexico border as a construction site for immigration jails, after Trump promised to call up the military to carry out mass deportations. The offer came as the Los Angeles City Council approved a “sanctuary city” ordinance forbidding city employees and resources from being involved in federal immigration enforcement. The measure passed unanimously on Tuesday, the same day the Los Angeles Unified School District reaffirmed its status as a “sanctuary district” for immigrants. This is Shiu-Ming Cheer of the California Immigrant Policy Center.

Shiu-Ming Cheer: “We are extremely concerned. Given that this is a city where about a third of the population is immigrants, we are all extremely concerned, worried, panicked, afraid that the National Guard or other people are going to be forced to execute Trump’s mass deportation plans. But, you know, we’re also organized. We’ve been through this before. We know how to respond. We have a lot of tools at our disposal, including the legal system, including the strength in our communities. So we also know that we can fight back with power.”
