The Trump administration received a $25 billion pitch from prominent defense contractors to set up military-style “processing camps” to help carry out mass migrant deportations, a new report says.
The aggressive blueprint, spearheaded by the likes of former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and COO Bill Mathews, aims to use a range of tactics to swiftly boot 12 million illegal migrants from the US before the 2026 midterms, Politico reported.
As part of the proposal, the contractors fired off a list of Army bases that would be suitable to build “camps” that could be up-and-running “in less than one week.”
In addition to the camps, the pitch also lays out the need for a fleet of 100 private planes and a “small army” of private citizens to help carry out arrests.
The 26-page document has been circulating among allies of President Trump since December.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Trump had laid eyes on the pitch.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.
“While White House officials receive numerous unsolicited proposals from various private-sector players, it is ultimately up to the agencies responsible for carrying out the President’s agenda to consider and sign contracts to advance their mission,” a White House spokesman said.
