"Palantir, founded in 2003 and co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, has faced years of scrutiny over government contracts and its role in immigration enforcement as well as for powering Israeli weapons used against Palestinians. Recent reporting and watchdog analyses have highlighted Palantir's work to build "ImmigrationOS," a platform intended to help U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) identify, track, and deport noncitizens."
"Colorado organizers celebrated a "victory," after Palantir Technologies, the data-mining and AI company long criticized for its work with immigration enforcement and the military, announced on Feb. 17 that it moved its corporate headquarters from Denver to Miami. The relocation followed more than a year of escalating protests in Colorado targeting Palantir's local offices that included street theater, pickets, rallies, vigils, and targeted political pressure."
"On the opposite side of the country, however, Miami advocates and community members received the news as something else entirely: the arrival of a powerful surveillance contractor to a community with scores of immigrant and working-class residents."
Palantir Technologies, a data-mining and AI company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, moved its corporate headquarters from Denver to Miami in February 2025. Colorado organizers celebrated this relocation as a victory after more than a year of escalating protests including street theater, pickets, rallies, and political pressure. However, Miami advocates view the move differently, concerned about a powerful surveillance contractor arriving in a community with significant immigrant and working-class populations. Palantir has faced years of scrutiny for government contracts, immigration enforcement work, and developing ImmigrationOS, a platform designed to help ICE identify, track, and deport noncitizens. Critics describe this as part of an expanding ecosystem of data-driven surveillance and enforcement.
