Stephen Miller stands to profit financially from mass deportations--own stocks in ICE contractor Palantir

Anonymous
I had always assumed that Stephen Miller was motivated by his general malevolence and hatred of non-whites. But it appears he is also motivated by money since he owns stock in Palantir, a company owned by Peter Thiel which "won a $30 million Immigration and Customs Enforcement contract to deliver an operating system tracking and managing deportations, as well as granting 'near real-time visibility' on those who 'self-deport.'"

For some context on how Palantir is closely aligned with the Trump administration: "Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, was among the scores of tech executives who donated to Trump’s inauguration in January — $1 million, in his case — and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel was a key backer and former employer of Vice President JD Vance. Once Trump was in office, the firm won a $795 million Pentagon contract, and its name appeared among the high-profile corporate sponsors of the Army’s 250th anniversary event in Washington earlier this month. Palantir’s chief technology officer was among the prominent tech executives formally sworn into the Army’s new innovation corps this month."

And what will the DOJ and GOP do? Nothing. Being unethical and corrupt is part of being part of the GOP.

We are witnessing a type of kleptocracy like in Russia. The leader rewards his henchmen for their loyalty by allowing them to make lots of money as a result of their government positions--or because they donated to his campaign. A number of people in Trump's administration appear to be using their proximity to Trump to enrich themselves. I'm not saying it's illegal, but it appears unethical. This doesn't even cover business people who have donated to Trump. Some of them are making bank as well.

*Pam Bondi disclosed owning $2.97 million in shares and warrants in Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) from consulting for Renatus Advisors LLC. This financial stake in Trump’s media company could incentivize decisions that align with Trump’s business interests, especially given her role implementing White House directives

*Musk--obvious conflicts of interest since his companies—Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink—rely heavily on government contracts and regulatory approvals. Musk’s push to cut federal spending and regulations could directly advantage his businesses, such as SpaceX’s NASA contracts or Tesla’s environmental credits.

*Steven Witkoff, a real estate billionaire and Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, co-founded WLF, a cryptocurrency platform launched in September 2024, and backed by the Trump family with his sons Zach and Alex. The Witkoff family has a stake in WLF, which has attracted investments like the $2 billion from Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund and they stand to profit from WLF’s revenue, bolstered by Trump’s crypto-friendly policies. The Witkoff sons are also co-owners of the new DC members-only club, Executive Branch, along with Don Jr. and another guy.

I'm not a lawyer so I asked Grok:

This situation raises serious conflict of interest concerns under 18 U.S.C. § 208, which prohibits federal officials from participating in decisions affecting their financial interests. Ethics experts, including Don Fox, former acting head of the Office of Government Ethics, note that Miller’s role in shaping immigration policy, combined with his stock ownership, could violate federal ethics rules if he influences decisions benefiting Palantir. The stock is held in a brokerage account for one of Miller’s children, but under OGE rules, this is treated as if Miller owns it himself.

While not necessarily illegal if Miller recuses himself from ICE-related decisions impacting Palantir, his failure to do so could lead to civil or criminal penalties, including fines or up to one year in prison (or seven years if willful). The White House has stated Miller would recuse himself if a conflict arises, but ethics watchdogs argue his deep involvement in immigration policy makes this difficult, given Palantir’s role in ICE operations. Public sentiment on X reflects outrage, with users calling it a “massive conflict of interest.”

No direct evidence confirms Miller has violated laws, but the appearance of impropriety is significant, especially as Palantir’s stock has surged 80% in 2025, partly due to government contracts. Miller could mitigate this by divesting the stock or using a blind trust, as suggested by ethics experts.
