Trump Administration Receives $25 Billion Proposal for Mass Migrant Deportation Plan
The plan, pitched by former Blackwater executives, outlines military-style processing camps, private aircraft, and deputized civilians to remove 12 million undocumented immigrants by 2026.
- A 26-page proposal was submitted by private defense contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, detailing a $25 billion strategy for mass deportations.
- The plan includes establishing processing camps on military bases, deploying a fleet of 100 private planes, and employing a 10,000-member private police force to assist with arrests.
- The proposal estimates deporting 500,000 undocumented immigrants per month to meet the goal of removing 12 million individuals before the 2026 midterm elections.
- White House officials have not confirmed whether President Trump has reviewed the proposal, and a spokesperson emphasized the administration's commitment to a government-led approach to immigration enforcement.
- Legal experts warn that elements of the plan, such as deputizing civilians and incentivizing local law enforcement through a bounty system, could face significant legal challenges.
