• In Palo Alto, up to 200 demonstrators disrupted a Palantir developer conference by blocking streets and climbing on company trucks, with no arrests reported.
• Organizers condemned Palantir’s $30 million ICE contract and its work with the Israeli military, alleging the firm’s analytics tools underpin deportations and civilian harm.
