Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said a facility built on this farmland recently bought by Texas will be the final stop for processing migrants before deportation.

She also promised more Texas land for mass deportation: “The new project that the General Land Office is going to bargain that I have created is the Jocelyn Initiative, in which we will locate appropriate land under my jurisdiction to lease for the construction of violent criminal deportation facilities.”

14th amendment:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

If they make the argument you just made, they kill their argument against birthright citizenship.

Jurisdiction can mean power over it doesn't actually imply protection from, we have other amendments for that. They'll argue some limited wording in the constitution and the 4th, 13th, and 14th amendments allows for illegals to not fall under the umbrella of constitutional protections.

It's a bad argument sure, but they don't generally have good arguments they just have 98% of government under their control and a rabid fan base. While it shouldn't be a winning argument it probably will be in this regime.
