I am all for criticizing and pointing fingers at trump and this entire administration.

But it does say they have been working with ICE for “years” in the article. What is not really clear to me is was the app made worse recently, was it originally commissioned under trump?

Nothing about that changes that they should not be working with ICE and they deserve any pressure they get to cut ties. But there is some history here I am very curious about.

All of that being said, I am concerned about how this will be turned around and used in more than just ICE and targeting everyone. Especially since we can be sure this will be used in largely blue big cities.

It was a boring database product in 2011. It expanded in scope over many years, and now has a much larger budget.

"That changed in the second Trump administration, with Palantir now working on ICE’s deportation efforts."
