Meet Erik Prince: The Real Villain Behind America's Shadow Deportation Scheme

Meet Erik Prince: The Real Villain Behind America's Shadow Deportation Scheme

Everyone assumed the brains behind the illegal extraditions to El Salvador had to be someone like Stephen Miller.

Wrong. It’s worse. It’s Erik Prince—Michigan’s most morally bankrupt nepo baby and the founder of Blackwater, the mercenary company known for war crimes and cashing federal checks like it's a side hustle.

Prince—whose sister is none other than former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos—has been quietly working on the largest mass deportation-for-profit scheme in American history, and now we know how deep the rot goes.

According to Politico, Prince pitched a plan to the White House to turn El Salvador's notorious SECOT prison into a loophole-ridden American territory, allowing the U.S. to skirt around the courts and human rights laws. All to launch a business venture built on the backs of 100,000 detainees.

Here’s the kicker: Prince wants full monopoly.

His new Wyoming-registered company, 2USV, would handle everything—locating, capturing, detaining, transporting, and deporting people. He even wants to run his own immigration courts inside the prison. Judge, jury, and border patrol—all in one sweet government contract.

The administration’s role?

They’ve allegedly boosted El Salvador’s travel safety rating (somehow now safer than France and the UK), started testing this blueprint on a small scale, and might soon lease the prison from El Salvador to make the legal fiction official.

Oh, and it doesn’t stop with undocumented immigrants.

The plan includes denaturalizing U.S. citizens, deporting them based on sketchy claims like “fraud” on citizenship forms—or even activism, tattoos, or affiliations the government deems suspicious.

Steven Miller is apparently pushing for it, and right-wing legal influencers like Mike Davis are already shrugging off legal limits. His take? “To hell with it.”

And guess what? The entire operation is quietly being enabled by a DOJ office created in Trump’s first term—one the Biden administration never dismantled. That silence gave the green light.

So now, one private warlord with a billion-dollar pedigree and a history of war crimes wants to build a gulag, run the courts, and profit from the systematic exile of both immigrants and Americans—all while the U.S. government helps him cover the tracks.

This isn’t policy. It’s privatized authoritarianism.

And it’s exactly what happens when a government turns to war profiteers to solve its problems: they bring solutions wrapped in barbed wire and bill it to the taxpayer.

Call it what it is: a constitutional collapse sold as a business deal.
