Overview

  • Miller disclosed owning between $100,001 and $250,000 in Palantir stock in mid-March financial disclosure forms.
  • Palantir secured a $29.9 million no-bid ICE contract in April to develop ImmigrationOS and was chosen last month to build a federal interagency data-sharing platform.
  • Ethics experts from the Project on Government Oversight, former OGE head Don Fox and Democracy Defenders Fund’s Virginia Canter flag a troubling conflict given his role shaping ICE policy.
  • Palantir’s stock has surged 80 percent this year during its expanded government surveillance work, potentially amplifying Miller’s personal financial gains.
  • Watchdog groups are calling for a formal review of potential ethics violations and stricter disclosure requirements.
