Blackwater Founder Pitches Plan to Deport 12 Million Illegals with ‘Private Army.’

A coalition of seasoned military contractors, spearheaded by former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and ex-Blackwater COO Bill Mathews, has presented the Trump White House with a plan to deliver mass deportations. The proposal, outlined in a comprehensive 26-page document delivered to President Donald J. Trump’s team before his inauguration, promises to deport 12 million illegal aliens by the 2026 midterms using “processing camps” on military bases, a fleet of 100 private planes, and a citizen-led “small army” empowered to apprehend violators, at a projected cost of $25 billion.

The plan, seen by POLITICO and marked “unsolicited,” says deporting 12 million people within two years “would require the government to eject nearly 500,000 illegal aliens per month,” necessitating a “600 percent increase in activity.”

Recognizing the federal government’s limitations, the group argues, “It is unlikely that the government could swell its internal ranks to keep pace with this demand … in order to process this enormous number of deportations, the government should enlist outside assistance.”

Prince, a longtime Trump ally, leads the effort alongside Mathews and a team of former immigration officials under the banner of a new entity, 2USV. Despite an initial surge in arrests following President Trump’s return to office, the pace has tapered, highlighting the urgent need for additional manpower and detention capacity. The contractors’ proposal fills this gap, offering a privatized force of 10,000 deputized citizens—veterans, retired law enforcement, and former ICE agents—ready to act under the command of Border Czar Tom Homan.

Top White House officials are actively engaging with military contractors as Capitol Hill Republicans push for more funding to support Trump’s immigration crackdown. War Room host Stephen K. Bannon, a key figure in Trump’s first administration, who is aware of the plan, praised its ambitious scope: “People want this stood up quickly, and understand the government is always very slow to do things. It’s smart to start bidding out right now and get a feel for what else outside companies, contractors can do.”

The plan’s scope is massive: a fleet of 49 readily available planes, expandable to 100, would transport deportees, while temporary camps on U.S. Army bases could be erected in under a week. “The management team of 2USV includes individuals and companies that specialize in erecting temporary housing facilities,” the document states, citing prior success with Afghan refugee camps and U.S. Customs and Border Protection projects. A legal framework to streamline deportations includes mass hearings conducted by 2,000 attorneys and paralegals, ensuring rapid processing while maintaining order.

White House spokesman Kush Desai says the administration “remains aligned on and committed to a whole-of-government approach to securing our borders, mass deporting criminal illegal migrants, and enforcing our immigration laws.” While the proposal’s fate remains uncertain—it’s been circulating among Trump allies since December—Desai was non-commital on it, saying, “White House officials receive numerous unsolicited proposals from various private sector players, [but] it is ultimately up to the agencies responsible for carrying out the President’s agenda to consider and sign contracts to advance their mission.”

Prince and Mathews frame their bid as an economic and national security imperative, echoing Trump’s rhetoric: “In order to save the U.S. economy, the nation has to eject as many of these illegal aliens as quickly as possible,” they declare, pointing to burdens on welfare, education, and public safety.

Trump Border Mass Deportations

Trump to Reinstate Title 42 Public Health Order to Bolster Mass Deportations: Report.

President Donald J. Trump may be poised to reinstate Title 42, a public health order used during the COVID-19 pandemic to expel over three million asylum-seeking illegal immigrants. Despite its suspension in May 2023 by the Biden government, documents obtained by CBS News suggest that Trump plans to use this order again to deport illegal immigrants, citing public health risks.

In addition to bolstering his administration’s defense of mass deportations in federal court, Trump’s invoking of Title 42 could also allow for border officials to more effectively bar asylum seekers from entering the United States. The order, directed through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), expands certain authorities under a public health declaration for border officials and allows them to circumvent normal U.S. immigration statutes and international agreements.

According to the documents, the Trump administration believes the increasing number of tuberculosis cases in the United States—with 10,000 occurrences and 600 deaths reported in 2023—could serve as the legal cause for reinstituting Title 42 restrictions. Last year, Stephen Miller—now the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy—argued Title 42 should be used to restrict immigration in order to combat “severe strains of the flu, tuberculosis, scabies, other respiratory illnesses like R.S.V. and so on, or just a general issue of mass migration being a public health threat and conveying a variety of communicable diseases.”

Already, President Trump has moved to end the Temporary Protected Status for over one million illegal immigrants, clearing the way for their return to their home countries. Additionally, Trump has opened a 30,000-bed facility at Guantanamo Bay to hold the most dangerous illegal immigrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Mayor Eric Adams Moves to Shut Down Infamous NYC Hotel Used to House Illegal Immigrants.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced the closure of the Asylum Seeker Arrival Center at the Roosevelt Hotel, which will wind down operations for the next several months. The hotel, with roughly 1,000 rooms, has been operating as a housing shelter and processing center for illegal immigrant asylum seekers since May 2023 as unlawful border crossings surged under former President Joe Biden.

The Manhattan-based hotel turned illegal immigrant processing center has facilitated the registration of over 173,000 migrants, representing nearly three-quarters of the 232,000 migrants who entered New York City since spring 2022, according to Mayor Adams’s office.

“Today we are announcing the Roosevelt Hotel, which served as both our asylum arrivals center and the Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center for nearly two years, will be closing in the coming months thanks to the successful strategies we put in place here in New York City,” Mayor Adams said in a video announcing the closure. He added: “The Roosevelt Hotel was opened in May 2023 during the height of the crisis, with the city receiving an average of 4,000 arrivals each week. Now, thanks to our policies, we’re down to an average of just 350 new arrivals each week.”

The closure is part of a broader plan to shut down 53 emergency shelter sites by June, as the number of migrants under city care has fallen from a peak of 69,000 to under 45,000. However, the move also appears spurred by the Trump administration’s seizure of $59 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds that had been funneled to several New York City hotels operating as shelters.

Notably, the Roosevelt Hotel briefly hosted illegal Venezuelan immigrant Jose Ibarra, who, after later obtaining a humanitarian flight to Atlanta, Georgia, murdered nursing student Laken Riley.

Coyote Blames Trump’s Border Policies for 80% Decline in Business Since Inauguration.

At least one human smuggler in Mexico—commonly known as a coyote—says he’s seen an 80 percent drop in business since President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated just over a month ago. The revelation, relayed by NBC News’s Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez, suggests President Trump’s swift move to secure the southern border and implement the mass deportations of illegal immigrants is discouraging foreign nationals from even attempting illegal crossings.

According to U.S. government officials, there are currently an estimated 229 illegal border crossings each day, a steep decline from the over 11,000 per day crossing high that occurred under the former Biden government. Illegal crossing began to plummet between December and January as Trump was set to take office, with many would-be illegal immigrants deciding to forego attempting to cross into the U.S., fearing they would be caught and deported once Trump assumed office.

The coyote, Gutierrez claims, is now contemplating raising his fees for those still determined to enter the country unlawfully. Additionally, while the smuggler contends the placement of the U.S. military along the border is “foolishness,” he also acknowledged that the impact has been noticeable in deterring would-be illegal border crossers.

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has overseen a slew of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids—primarily targeting violent, illegal immigrant criminals and organized crime rings. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has also ramped up deportation flights, with thousands of illegal immigrants being flown to Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and—in the case of the most dangerous—the U.S. military installation at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Migrant Crime

Trump Administration Probes Lax Biden Govt HHS Vetting Exposing Migrant Kids to Trafficking.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is launching an investigation into the handling of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). The probe comes after concerns were raised that lax vetting processes may have allowed minors to end up in the care of unsuitable sponsors, including alleged predators and traffickers.

An internal HHS document details numerous instances where the ORR neglected safety protocols. The report highlights cases where sponsors used falsified or altered images to gain custody of children, with these discrepancies often overlooked by government staff. One photo included in the report depicted a poorly edited image, with a child’s mother appearing next to a man claiming custody. Another case involved a sponsor using an identity document that did not match his own.

A particularly concerning incident involved a 23-year-old posing as a minor within a federal facility, reportedly making inappropriate advances toward actual children. According to HHS sources, the former Biden government’s prioritizing speed over safety resulted in a number of failures to protect migrant minors in the care of the ORR.

Findings by the HHS Office of the Inspector General revealed serious shortcomings in sponsor evaluations, leading to potentially unsafe or exploitative conditions for the children. The report notes that rejection rates for sponsorship applications were alarmingly low, highlighting oversight deficiencies.

Despite awareness of these issues among top officials in the Biden government, meaningful corrective actions were never implemented, according to the investigation. Since May 2024, 291,000 unaccompanied minors have entered the U.S., with many released without required immigration court appearances.

Consequently, the Trump administration’s HHS aims to prevent future occurrences by reviewing and enhancing sponsor vetting procedures. Recommendations include fingerprinting, mandatory DNA testing, and improved background checks for potential sponsors.

Trump Admin Intensifies Immigration Crackdown, Deputizes State Dept. Security Personnel.

President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is moving to ramp up deportations and immigration enforcement actions as part of the America First leaders’s broader border security and illegal immigration crackdown. As part of the effort, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem signed an order deputizing around 600 State Department Security Service employees to assist in the arrest and separation of foreign nationals illegally residing in the United States.

“Under President Trump, DHS will utilize all available resources to secure our border and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country,” Noem declared in a statement. She added: “The safety of American citizens comes first.”

The National Pulse previously reported that some employees in the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigations division have been deputized, primarily assisting in the investigation and dismantling of organized and dangerous illegal immigrant gangs like Tren de Aragua. Additionally, a number of Department of Justice (DOJ) law enforcement personnel and individuals with the Texas Attorney General’s Office have been called to assist with DHS immigration enforcement operations.

In a recent statement, Noem noted the Treasury Department’s readiness to support immigration enforcement. Recent workforce and budget enhancements have rendered IRS personnel available to assist. Reports indicate a significant rise in interior arrests compared to the same timeframe in the previous year. DHS data shows a 137 percent increase, with 11,791 interior ICE arrests recorded from January 20 to February 8, compared to 4,969 in 2024.

Trump Border Mass Deportations

Southern U.S. Border Sees 94% Drop in Illegal Crossings: Border Patrol Chief.

Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks has reported a significant reduction in illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border over the past year. According to Banks, daily apprehensions by agents have dropped to around 285, a stark contrast to the 4,800 daily arrests recorded at the same time last year. This marks a 94 percent decrease in illegal crossings.

Chief Banks attributed these results to policies implemented by President Donald J. Trump’s administration. Newly adopted measures announced by President Trump include the deployment of additional troops to the southern border and collaboration with the Texas National Guard. These steps are part of an ongoing strategy to support Border Patrol agents in their duties to manage illegal immigration effectively.

The National Pulse has previously reported that the Trump administration has opened a 30,000-bed illegal immigrant detention facility on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This facility is intended to house the most dangerous illegal immigrants with ties to violent criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua, which was recently designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by President Trump.

Additionally, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to execute raids across the country as part of President Trump’s mass deportation efforts. Border czar Tom Homan oversees these raids.

Venezuelans Sue Trump Admin Over Move to Revoke Temporary Protected Status.

A group of Venezuelan nationals are suing the Trump administration’s Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, claiming the decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 600,000 Venezuelans in the United States was illegally motivated by race. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, is being brought by the ACLU Foundation of Northern California, the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law, California, the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network on behalf of the Venezuelan TPS designees.

TPS offers protection from deportation and work permits for individuals from countries deemed unsafe to return to, including Venezuela. The former Biden government, under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, had extended TPS for Venezuela, along with El Salvador, Sudan, and Ukraine, for an additional 18 months towards the end of President Joe Biden’s term.

According to the lawsuit, around 350,000 Venezuelan TPS designees may lose their protected status and work authorization in April, with another 257,000 being impacted in September. The lawsuit criticizes Secretary Noem for comments made during the decision announcement, alleging they express racial animus, violating the Fifth Amendment.

“The Secretary’s decisions also were motivated at least in part by racial animus, in contravention of the Fifth Amendment,” the lawsuit claims, continuing: “That is clear from statements the Secretary made when announcing the decisions themselves, labeling Venezuelan TPS holders as ‘dirtbags’—an expression of racism made by the official decisionmaker as part of her explanation for the decision.”

The Venezuelans and their legal representatives are asking the court to intervene and order the Trump administration to reverse its decision to revoke TPS status and restore the Biden government’s extension. The National Pulse reported on Thursday that Sec. Noem is also moving to end the TPS designation for Haitian nationals.

Stephen Miller Vows to Mobilize ‘Full Might’ of DHS, DOJ, DOD for Mass Deportations.

Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, stated in a briefing that the U.S. will utilize the resources of multiple federal departments to support President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation program. “I can promise you that the full might of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, and every element and instrument of national power will be used to remove with speed all criminal illegals from the soil of the United States of America, to enforce final removal orders, and to ensure that this country is for American citizens and those that legally belong in this country,” he vowed.

Miller confirmed the administration is committed to removing all criminal illegal immigrants from the United States, enforcing removal orders, and maintaining the integrity of American citizenship.

Miller outlined actions taken early in Trump’s presidency, referencing challenges inherited from the Biden-Harris government, such as a non-operational U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously focused on resettling illegal immigrants instead of removing them. “In 30 days, the president sealed the border shut, declared the cartels to be terrorist organizations, has increased ICE deportations to levels not seen in decades, and we are shortly on the verge of achieving a pace and speed of deportations this country has never before seen,” he stressed.

In just the first 18 days of the administration, approximately 11,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Plans are in place to expand detention facilities, with the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba already receiving illegals and ramping up to accommodate up to 30,000 detainees.

The administration reports a sharp decrease in illegal border crossings. Since January 20, apprehensions at ports of entry have reportedly dropped by 93 percent.

Trump Ends Biden-Era Protections for Haitians, Clearing the Way for Deportations.

The Trump administration announced on Thursday that it is canceling the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals residing in the United States granted by former President Joe Biden. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Biden’s extension, meaning the estimated 500,000 Haitians covered by TPS will see the protections expire in August instead of next February. The move clears the way for federal immigration officials to remove the Haitians from the United States once their TPS designation expires.

In late January, President Donald J. Trump revoked the TPS designation for over 600,000 Venezuelan nationals and directed DHS officials to begin a review of other immigrant groups that received TPS protections under the Biden government. The extension of TPS protections to Venezuelans has been a point of controversy among American voters as a number of the migrants who received the designation are likely members of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.

Haitian nationals have been eligible for TPS protections since 2010, when then-President Barack Obama provided the status to help those displaced from their homes on the Caribbean island following a devastating earthquake. The protections are only supposed to be temporary, and those receiving the designation are expected to return to their home countries. However, President Trump argues that TPS protections were abused under the Biden government, with many recipients remaining in the United States well past what would be considered a temporary relief period.

While the Trump administration has revoked the TPS extension, Sec. Noem has yet to decide whether the protections for Haitians will be renewed once the August deadline is reached.
