Big Tech takes on immigration with new migrant tracking software for ICE

Summary
The U.S. federal government is developing a new system called ImmigrationOS to track and prioritize the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants. The $30 million no-bid contract was awarded to Palantir Technologies, founded by GOP donor Peter Thiel, who has close ties to Vice President JD Vance and DOGE head Elon Musk. The system, set to launch a prototype this fall, will integrate government and private data to help ICE identify targets, including visa overstayers and suspected gang members.

Critics, including civil liberties groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, warn that the system could be misused to monitor U.S. citizens or political opponents. Concerns are heightened by recent reports that ICE gained access to IRS taxpayer data and by Trump’s suggestion that even American citizens deemed dangerous could be removed. ImmigrationOS raises fears of mass surveillance and erosion of privacy protections, as it can track people’s addresses, habits, vehicles, and social circles.
