Erik Prince seeks privatization of Trump's deportation efforts
Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, is lobbying for private contractors to assist in mass deportations under Donald Trump's administration. He is proposing a $25 billion plan to deport 12 million migrants, although he noted no federal contract has been secured yet. Prince has a history of political connections and has been involved in various military and intelligence ventures. He has recently been linked to efforts in Venezuela and has formed a strategic alliance with Ecuador to combat crime. Currently, no formal agreement exists between Prince and the Trump administration regarding deportations. His past controversies and public persona have drawn mixed reactions within the mercenary community.
