Tech Company Palantir is Helping Trump Separate Families

show that ICE used a software Palantir created and sold to the agency to investigate and arrest the parents and sponsors of children who crossed the border alone. when unaccompanied minors were taken into ICE custody to build profiles of these children and their families, arresting any undocumented people they discovered in their investigations, including those who came forward to claim their children. Thanks to this software, ICE arrested at least 443 people during a three-month period.

Palantir’s software is also used extensively by Homeland Security Investigations, the ICE division responsible for workplace raids. Through Palantir contracts, ICE also has access to a nationwide license-plate location database, which it uses to track and conduct surveillance of individuals and family members in order to arrest and deport immigrants. Because of Palantir, all this information is at the fingertips of ICE agents responsible for mass deportations and other abuses.

These investigations are a gross overreach that violate basic human rights, Fourth Amendment privacy rights and the internationally recognized right to seek asylum. That’s why Free Press has joined Mijente and other racial-justice andthat Palantir stop aiding and abetting the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant agenda.

The tech industry shouldn’t profit from the trauma and suffering of migrants and asylum seekers. Palantir isn’t the only company that promised a better world with big data and then sold its technology to authorities bent on violating our human rights. And it isn’t the only company now feeling the heat.
