| Peter Thiel's Palantir is Powering Trump's Immigration Agenda |
| 2017-03-06 |
| Moved to Page 2. [Fortune] A new report from The Intercept details a system, Investigative Case Management (ICM), created by Palantir Technologies to support investigations by the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency. The system is scheduled to reach full capacity this fall. The system, developed through a $41 million contract awarded in 2014, is designed to help ICE agents identify illegal immigrants by collating data from a half-dozen law enforcement databases. By cross-referencing data from the FBI, ATF, DEA, and other entities, ICM can build a profile including a person’s job, background, schooling, relationships, address, criminal record, and other data. ACLU privacy expert Jay Stanley told The Intercept that conclusions drawn using the ICM tools could be used to engineer the sort of mass deportations President Trump has promised. |

| #4 Hey! Trump wasn't president in 2014, was he? You suppose he was in control, even then, Nancy? |

| #3 How long before the MSM/SJW/Dem axis starts screaming about Trump cronyism, no noticing that the contract was let in 2014? |

| #2 Investigative Case Management (ICM) Perhaps the team of analysts using the tool can be called the Investigative Case Unit (I.C.U.) |

| #1 Yet another validation of my DJT vote. But our soldiers get Digital Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A). Nothing is too good for the soldier, right ? |
