Background
[From Demand Progress:]
“ICE has a $30 million contract with Palantir to surveil immigrants and fuel Trump's mass deportations. While Trump's masked ICE agents round up immigrants in their workplaces and homes, Palantir and its founder Peter Thiel are making millions. … Stop Trump-Palantir's immigrant surveillance and mass deportations!
While Trump's ICE agents terrorize immigrant communities and separate families across the country, Trump's billionaire mega-donor Peter Thiel is profiting from the violence.
The Thiel-founded big-tech company Palantir has a $30 million contract with ICE to surveil and track immigrants1 so it's easier for the Trump administration to raid workplaces, schools, and homes. And that's only one of Palantir's contracts — in all the company has received at least $113 million of taxpayer money since Trump took office in January.2
Trump is using mass surveillance to carry out his racist immigrant crackdown. Our leaders must take a stand and protect people from ICE, Thiel, and the White House.
Palantir supports and profits from violence and horror across the world. Last year, the company signed a deal with Israel's Defense Ministry to provide support for Israel's war on Gaza,3 giving Israel's military algorithms and tracking systems to carry out what Amnesty International and UN experts have called a genocide.
The White House and Palantir are also now planning to create a master database on everyone in America, including information such as bank account numbers, student debt, medical claims, and disability status.4
Palantir is a critical part of Trump's destructive policies. When masked ICE agents take away innocent people from their communities, it's done with the help of Palantir. When innocent people die in ICE detention, Thiel's company is complicit. Congress must stop funding Thiel and Trump's big tech nightmare.
Stop Trump’s mass deportations and insidious partnership with Palantir.”
