Thanks to Peter Thiel’s Palantir.
Below is from 404 Media. 404 Media has learned that Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier of each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. And ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based. This is the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. According to the user guide 404 Media obtained, the tool, called ELITE, aims to be nearly all encompassing when it comes to finding ICE targets, from identifying subjects in the first place, to building a list of people, to supervisors approving selections for officers to ultimately go into the field and apprehend. ELITE has already been used by ICE to target specific areas, according to sworn testimony from an ICE official in Oregon. In October, agents waited in unmarked SUVs outside an apartment complex before busting a driver’s window and pulling a 45-year-old woman from a van, using ICE’s facial recognition app Mobile Fortify on her. Lawyers representing the woman say authorities arrested her and more than 30 other people in a “dragnet.” “It’s basically a map of the United States. It’s kind of like Google Maps,” a deportation officer with ICE’s Fugitive Operations Unit identified in court records as JB, said about ELITE during testimony of the raid.

| More police should be using this, to avoid those late night raids on the wrong home. |
| It’ll be hacked out of existence quickly. ICE Barbie added 12,000 new “Patriots” now up to 22,000. We won’t 🫡 ya. |
What does this even mean?? |

I knew there was a reason I refuse to trade PLTR. Incidentally, not sure why you all continually refer to Peter Thiel but ignore Alex Karp. Karp and Thiel co-founded Palantir, with Karp the CEO of the company.
I really feel our sitting Congress is inept and useless. USELESS. AI is going to abuse all of us eventually. Mark my words. Companies like Palantir synthesize our personal information without our consent. It's an invasion of our privacy. Where is Congress? |
I wouldn’t count on the hacking out of existence. Even if it was, now we have the tools. Maybe we won’t need ICE raids. Other means could be invented that would make it very hard to live here unlawfully. What then? |

Ring cameras has partnered with FLOCK
ICE has access to FLOCK https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/flock-safety-and-ring-partner-to-help-neighborhoods-work-together-for-safer-communities |
We outlaw spy companies. |
| Data integration and AI are the now. If not Palantir than something else. |
That’s why we need AI regulation, but Trump decided to take bribes instead. We will get to it. |
Don't forget Facebook, Google. Even if you do not have a Facebook account, the company compiles all your information into a shadow profile, making use of what other users list in their contacts. Google gives out chromebooks to schools and runs the student e-mails. |
Police use your car license plate and have all the information they need. |
| Soon we all will have “social score” like credit score for the Government like in China. |
Like in Black Mirror? |
+1 This. Makes me think of that Halloween movie where the kids all wear those cursed pumpkin masks. |
