With the willing collaboration of Silicon Valley, the Trump administration has accelerated and expanded its crackdown on migrant communities. Companies like Palantir, Amazon, Salesforce, and dozens of others have pursued federal government contracts to arm agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) with military-grade digital tools they need to commit atrocities along the southern border and the interior. This report focuses on Palantir, in particular, and presents key information on its role in executing the Trump administration’s immigration agenda. It also maps the web of corporate interests that advocate for Palantir in Washington D.C., many of them from within the Trump administration.
