MYSTERIOUS: Erik prince privatize mass deportation - You Need To See This

A delegation of military contractors, led by stalwart Donald Trump ally and former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has proposed that the federal government use militarized "processing camps," a private fleet of 100 planes and a "small army" of private citizens with arrest powers to pursue a mass deportation policy.

The 26-page blueprint submitted to Trump advisors just before the inauguration lays out an array of draconian measures to deport 12 million people before the 2026 midterm elections, according to a copy received by Politico. Discussions over the proposal, which is estimated by the document to cost $25 billion, are reportedly underway between the contractors and White House officials.
