Government Hires Controversial AI Company to Spy on "Known Populations"
Briefly

A recent report by 404 Media reveals a massive contract between Palantir and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) worth tens of millions. This agreement involves enhancing ICE's Investigative Case Management system, allowing for detailed target analysis of various populations. The system aggregates extensive data, including personal and administrative information. This is part of a larger $96 million contract with the Department of Homeland Security, amid alarming reports of disappearances and deportations under the Trump administration, targeting individuals based on their perceived political stances or associations.
The contract tasks Palantir with tweaking ICE's Investigative Case Management system (ICM) to allow for the "complete target analysis of known populations."
The ICM allows agents to sort people by "hundreds of highly specific categories," including race, eye color, tattoos, and more.
