The document of the Ice does not specify data sources. Palaantir power will drag from immigrations. However, it states that Palantir may “configure” the case management system provided to ICE since 2014.
Palantir has worked in various other government agencies in early 2007. Separate from the Ice, it has worked with the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Internal Revenue Service and the Bureau of Investigation. As reported by Wired, Palathir is currently helping Elon Musk’s so -called Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) to create a new “mega API” in IRS that can find records in all various databases that maintains the agency.
Last week, 404 media reported that a recent edition of Palaantir’s case management system for ICE allows agents to search people based on “hundreds of different, highly specialized categories”, in which a person entered the country, their current legal status and how they entered the country. It also includes a person’s hair and eye color, whether they have scars or tattoos, and their license plate reader data, which will provide a detailed location data about the person where the person travels by car.

Last week, the Social Security Administration listed over 6,000 of these people as dead, a strategy meant to end their financial life.
