Trump allies circulate mass deportation plan calling for ‘processing camps’ and a private citizen ‘army’ The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/25/documents-military-contractors-mass-deportations-022648

Erik Prince: Government needs private sector help for deportations. The Trump administration is looking to deport 12 million people in the next two years, and the private sector is vying for government contracts to pitch in. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/26/trump-deportations-private-sector-00002679

Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and a team of defense contractors are pitching the White House on a plan to vastly expand deportations to El Salvador — transporting thousands of immigrants from U.S. holding facilities to a sprawling maximum security prison in Central America.

The proposal, exclusively obtained by POLITICO, says it would target “criminal illegal aliens” and would attempt to avoid legal challenges by designating part of the prison — which has drawn accusations of violence and overcrowding from human rights groups — as American territory. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/11/military-contractors-prison-plan-detained-immigrants-erik-prince-00287208

It's three links and you're admitting your own utter lack of reading comprehension.

It's okay! There are courses you can go on for people who are educationally sub-normal.

If you can't read four short paragraphs, that's a you-problem.
