Peter Thiel’s Palantir is Building Out ‘ImmigrationOS’ Software to Help ICE Track Illegal Aliens
SUMMARY
Peter Thiel’s Palantir is taking center stage in the Trump administration’s push to end illegal immigration. The Silicon Valley data giant just secured a $30 million federal contract to develop “ImmigrationOS,” a cutting-edge software system designed to help ICE track, manage, and deport illegal aliens more efficiently. The system will focus on visa overstays—individuals who legally enter the U.S. but don’t leave when their visas expire—as well as violent criminals and members of transnational criminal groups. ImmigrationOS aims to streamline case management, offering ICE agents near real-time updates and tighter integration with other agencies like Customs and Border Protection. Palantir, chaired by conservative tech mogul Peter Thiel, has worked with DHS since 2014 and already built ICE’s core tracking system. This latest expansion builds on that legacy and aligns with President Trump’s agenda of restoring law and order through decisive immigration enforcement.
