Are Erik Prince's mercenaries working for ICE ?

Erik Prince was an adviser in the last Trump Administration. Is he still part of the circle?

He was best known for his Blackwater exploits in Iraq. He had proposed working with the Wagner Group in Libya and parts of Africa. The Wagner Group was a private Russian military company. His connections to the same type of work, now being done by ICE, were well-known throughout the Middle East.

Is he now contracted to work for Homeland Security and are his mercenaries now working for ICE? Do we have a Russian military group, Wagner Group, rounding up American citizens?

Just curious?

Of course, it's why they have to hide their faces, we should start pulling masks off!

Someone said if you can't get it on them directly, pour some in the area between the hood of the vehicle and the windshield. When they turn on the A/C they will get glitter bombed. Also, the edible glitter is preferable, as it is smaller and more of a bitch to get off.

But it would be some questions for reporters to explore, in my opinion. I would not be surprised.

Erik Prince got involved. Mercenaries are the perfect choice for Donald Trump's ICE. Don't have worry about them having any pangs of conscience or humanity. They just do a dirty job for money.

"Over the past few months, Erik Prince, former head of the private military company Blackwater, has pitched multiple proposals to the White House to help with mass deportations. Prince has argued that achieving President Trump’s aggressive deportation goals will require the government to “supplement” ICE’s capabilities. According to one of his proposals, a new Prince company, 2USV, would train and deploy an army of as many as 100,000 armed and deputized citizens."

We should not even question what this BASTARD is capable of. Always expect the worse from him. Why? Because he has the most LOW LIFE people in his administration, and standing by. that's why.

but I also believe that the ICEtapol goons that work for him are getting paid bonuses based on head count.

That's why they are rounding up everyone in the vicinity of their raids, regardless of citizenship.

This story will come out.

He services. They probably are part of it.
Princess and Flynn haven’t created their Christian Army to do nothing.
I am sure they are set to attack if for some reason our army doesn’t follow Trump’s orders.
