' treatment from unhinged Democrats after news broke late this week that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has partnered with the defense contractor to deploy new "near real-time visibility" software to facilitate the deportation of illegal immigrants.
A contract first reviewed by https://www.businessinsider.com/ice-palantir-new-technology-30-million-visa-overstays-self-deportation-2025-4
stated that ICE and Palantir are working to deploy the Immigration Lifecycle Operating System — or ImmigrationOS — to support ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in response to urgent deportation national security goals outlined in President Trump's Executive Orders (EO 14159 and EO 13773).
Palantir will deliver a prototype of ImmigrationOS by September 25. The contract sets the deadline for a fully operational ImmigrationOS by September 2027.

Here's a description of ImmigrationOS' capabilities:
Targeting and Enforcement Prioritization: Streamlining operations to apprehend illegal aliens, focusing on transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), violent criminals, and visa overstays.
Self-Deportation Tracking: Real-time visibility into self-deportation instances to inform policy and resource allocation.
Immigration Lifecycle Process: End-to-end management from identification to removal, optimizing deportation logistics
Services include software licenses, configuration, engineering, and hosting to deliver a prototype by September 25, 2025.
Federal data shows Palantir has been an ICE contractor since 2011.

According to the contract, the ImmigrationOS award is expected to cost taxpayers $29.8 million.
Separately, Palantir has been working with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to build a "mega API" for the Internal Revenue Service, which would allow better record searching across the agency's databases.
ICE justifies ImmigrationOS as a way for the federal government to meet the critical national security objectives outlined in the president's executive orders.
