Military Contractors Pitch Prison Plan for Immigrants
April 11, 2025 at 7:02 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and a team of defense contractors are pitching the White House on a plan to vastly expand deportations to El Salvador — transporting thousands of immigrants from U.S. holding facilities to a sprawling maximum security prison in Central America,” Politico reports.

“The proposal says it would target “criminal illegal aliens” and would attempt to skirt U.S. immigration laws by designating part of the prison — which has drawn accusations of violence and overcrowding from human rights groups — as American territory.”

their plans have got to be horrendous. I was thinking about writing a nice bedtime story about all that's going on, where a group of people are working feverishly behind the scenes, to swoop in and save the day. I read this stuff, and I think about writing a nightmare story, where people are plotting and scheming the most inhumane acts, and I never want to go to sleep again.
