This is happening in the US today, and it will spread, if not stopped.

Did you know that ICE is using an app called ELITE created by Palantir that populates a map with alleged deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address? The confidence score calculates the probability of the subject physically being at the address, which requires data from other sources such as DHHS and USCIS, as confirmed in digital rights reports.
Such technology empowers ICE agents who filter the map by what the guide calls Special Operations. These are “groups of pre-defined aliens specifically targeted by Leadership for action”
This form and level of surveillance should not take Americans by surprise. From slave patrols and Jim Crow policing that targeted Black people, to the COINTELPRO operations that spied on civil rights and anti-war organisers, the United States has a rich history of spying on marginalised communities.
From the US to Palestine to England, Palantir continues to cement its status internationally.
In November 2023, NHS England awarded Palantir a £330m contract to create a new data management system. In response, more than 100 health workers, patients, and allies picketed the offices of NHS England on 3rd April 2024 to demand the cancellation of this contract.
In addition to this, Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp says he is “exceedingly proud” of Palantir’s involvement in what he calls “operationally crucial operations in Israel. Palantir is responsible for creating systems like ‘Lavender’ and ‘Where’s Daddy?’, which reportedly speed up the process of killing Palestinians.
Will we see more private companies creating technology used by Western governments to help hunt and deport people from marginalised communities?
