Overview

• New financial disclosures obtained by the Project on Government Oversight show that Miller holds between $100,001 and $250,000 in Palantir stock, a stake reported under his minor child’s account but treated as his own under federal ethics rules.
• In April, Immigration and Customs Enforcement awarded Palantir a $29.9 million contract to develop an Immigration Lifecycle Operating System for near real-time tracking of migrants without opening the work to competitive bids.
• Palantir’s Foundry platform is now being rolled out across agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, prompting bipartisan alarm over centralized data and potential mass surveillance.
• At least 11 other White House officials, including CIO Gregory Barbaccia, own Palantir shares, and the administration has pledged that Miller will recuse from any policy matter that could affect his financial interest in the company.
• Ethics experts warn that Miller’s simultaneous role in shaping the administration’s hardline deportation policies and profiting from the contractor providing its technology poses a troubling conflict under federal law.
