"We need to get better at treating this like a business," Todd Lyons said, according to the
Arizona Mirror. "Like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings."

Border Security Expo at the Phoenix Convention Center in Arizona.

Donald Trump's "border czar,"
Tom Homan, also spoke at the gathering, where he emphasized to attendees that the Trump administration needs help from the private sector funding mass deportations.
"We need to buy more beds, we need more airplane flights, and I know a lot of you are here for that reason," he said. "Let the badge and guns do the badge and gun stuff, everything else, let's contract out."

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary
Kristi Noem has continued to be forward-facing when it comes to handling deportations. In March, the former governor of South Dakota shared footage of herself standing in an El Salvador prison in front of a cell filled with inmates who'd been flown out of America.
"President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW. If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison," she said. "This is one of the consequences you could face. First of all, do not come to our country illegally. You will be removed and you will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people."

Kristi Noem also shared footage of herself standing in front of the construction of Donald Trump's
border wall, which the commander-in-chief has been promising since his first term.
"Everybody, I'm here in Arizona and right at this spot, you can see where the border wall ends," the former governor of South Dakota said. "As of today, we're starting seven new miles of construction. We're going to continue to make America safe again."
