Palantir Technologies, backed by CIA venture fund In-Q-Tel, built surveillance platforms used by ICE since 2013 (FALCON, ICM) for workplace raids, tracking asylum seekers, and large-scale immigration enforcement. In 2025, ICE awarded Palantir $30M to build 'ImmigrationOS,' a platform using data from passports, Social Security, IRS, and even Medicaid records to identify and track deportation targets. Palantir's ELITE tool uses Medicaid data to locate individuals, generating 'confidence scores' for current addresses.
