Overview

  • Miller disclosed ownership of between $100,001 and $250,000 in Palantir stock held in a child’s brokerage account.
  • ICE awarded Palantir a $30 million no-bid contract in April to develop ImmigrationOS for near real-time deportation tracking.
  • Ethics specialists warn that Miller’s role in shaping immigration policy and his Palantir holdings may breach conflict-of-interest rules, but the White House says he will recuse from related matters.
  • Palantir’s shares have surged over 80% this year amid an expansion of government contracts under President Trump’s administration.
  • ICE is detaining more immigrants than ever, and at least 11 other senior officials hold Palantir stock.
