Palantir hosted another 'Hack Week' this spring with a specific focus on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The aim was to develop clearer oversight tools for software used in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, providing alerts for concerning behavior among ICE workers.

The new tools allow organizations like DHS and ICE to monitor user activity more closely. They can set up alerts for data exfiltration and view session logs. Despite these efforts, some employees remain critical of Palantir's work with ICE, questioning its ethics and impact on migrants seeking asylum.

Palantir’s involvement has grown significantly over the past year. Last year, they were paid $30 million to create 'ImmigrationOS,' providing near real-time visibility into self-deportations, alongside other tools like ELITE that map individuals targeted for deportation. While some tools have already been deployed, others are set to roll out later this year.

Despite internal backlash over incidents such as the killing of Alex Pretti, Palantir has continued working with ICE. In February, DHS reached a $1 billion purchasing agreement with the company, solidifying its position within the agency and expanding its reach across subagencies like the US Secret Service. This latest contract extension could see Palantir’s software operational until 2027.
