Hacktivists leaked 17MB of DHS contracts naming 6,681 ICE surveillance vendors — including Palantir, Anduril, Microsoft, and Oracle

6,681 Companies Are Selling Surveillance to ICE. A Hacktivist Group Just Named All of Them.

The Department of Homeland Security does not publish a list of its surveillance contractors. A group called Department of Peace did it for them.

The Leak

In April 2026, hacktivists released a 17-megabyte archive of internal DHS procurement documents. The files named 6,681 individual vendors with active contracts tied to ICE and DHS surveillance infrastructure. Among them: Palantir, Anduril, Raytheon, Microsoft, and Oracle. The contracts covered data aggregation, facial recognition, location tracking, and predictive enforcement tools.

The Stated Motive

The group issued a statement citing the federal killing of protesters in Minneapolis as the direct cause. They framed the leak as public accountability for a surveillance apparatus built on violence. Whether or not that framing holds, the underlying documents are procurement records — the kind of material that is technically public under FOIA but rarely assembled in one place.

Why It Matters

DHS surveillance contracting is diffuse by design. Dozens of shell entities and subcontractors sit between a federal agency and its actual capabilities. The 17MB archive collapses that diffusion into a single searchable list. The companies named in it now have a paper trail that journalists, legislators, and courts can follow.
