Texas could bus migrants to ICE instead of sanctuary cities so they can be processed for deportation faster under a proposed plan, according to media reports.

Beginning in the summer of 2022, Texas bused roughly 120,000 migrants to New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Chicago. It welcomed the election of President-elect Donald Trump, who is in line with the strict immigration policies favored by the border state.

Texas is reportedly considering a plan to increase migrant buses which would send illegal migrants directly to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers to ease the process of deportation.

"We spent a lot of taxpayer money to have the level of deterrent that we have on the border and we can't just walk away," a Texas source said.
