Prominent military contractors pitched Donald Trump and the White House on a plan to help deliver his promise of mass deportations.

According to Politico, which obtained a copy of the proposal, former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and former COO Bill Mathews pitched Trump on a proposal that would involve private citizens helping to carry out mass deportations of those residing in the country illegally.

The report stated:

A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of "processing camps" on military bases, a private fleet of 100 planes, and a "small army" of private citizens empowered to make arrests.

The blueprint — laid out in a 26-page document President Donald Trump's advisers received before the inauguration — carries an estimated price tag of $25 billion and recommends a range of aggressive tactics to rapidly deport 12 million people before the 2026 midterms, including some that would likely face legal and operational challenges, according to a copy obtained by POLITICO.
