Are there mercenaries and bounty hunters out there grabbing people off the street?

If so, who is paying them? Is there a paper trail? Is it even the governnent? Also, do they have any kind of credentials, or are they just cosplaying randos?

What you call a contract with Eric Prince to deport 100,000 people? Of course no one is investigating these goons so it's pretty hard to prove anything.

and Malcolm Nance said there was talk of a contract with Eric Prince to deport 100,000 people. (for big bucks)

All I know is when I see these mercenaries on TV they aren't wearing proper uniforms, and the masks add a nice touch.

Occam's Razor, why should anyone believe they are legitimate?
