Overview
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has signed a $29.8 million contract with Palantir to enhance its case management system using ImmigrationOS software.
- ImmigrationOS will provide near real-time tracking of visa overstays and self-deportation cases, streamlining the immigration lifecycle from identification to removal.
- The system integrates data from multiple government agencies and enables data sharing with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for coordinated enforcement efforts.
- This contract builds on a decade-long partnership between Palantir and the Department of Homeland Security, including a 2022 contract extension under the Biden administration.
- Internal documents reveal Palantir is preparing for potential backlash over its ICE work, as the company continues developing new data integrations and workflows to support enforcement priorities.
