Donald Trump's administration is deepening its partnership with Palantir Technologies, positioning the company as a central player in federal data operations. Palantir has secured over $113 million in federal contracts since Trump took office, with a recent $795 million deal from the Department of Defense.

A significant initiative involves Palantir developing a centralized data platform that integrates sensitive records from the IRS, Social Security, and immigration databases. This system, powered by Palantir's Gotham software, aims to analyze behavioral patterns in real-time, flag potential threats, and support decisions around public safety and fraud detection.

In immigration enforcement, Palantir is enhancing its role by developing "ImmigrationOS," a platform designed to monitor and categorize individuals using biometric data and geolocation, facilitating deportations.

Palantir's involvement extends to defense projects, including a $1.275 billion contract for the Maven Smart System and participation in the proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense initiative.

These developments have sparked concerns among privacy advocates and former employees, who warn of potential overreach and the normalization of surveillance practices.

Financially, Palantir's stock has surged over 140% since Trump's election, reflecting investor confidence in its expanded government role.
