    Tell Homeland Security to cancel their contract with Palantir!

    Petition to Homeland Security:
    Palantir made millions of dollars from their contract with ICE to separate families at the border. We demand the Department of Homeland Security immediately cancel their contract with Palantir.

    Meet Palantir: the tech brains behind the software that enforced Trump’s racist family separation policy.

    Palantir made millions of dollars supplying ICE with software used to target parents and relatives of children crossing the border.1 And played a crucial role executing Trump’s racist and horrific policy of separating children from their families at the border.

    Tell Homeland Security to end their contract with Palantir.

    When Trump decided to separate families and the border and detain children, he created a human rights nightmare. Children are still traumatized and languishing in cages, at for-profit detention centers. All the while, Palantir made millions supplying ICE with software and databases to target and hunt families at the border.

    It might be hard to pick the single greatest disaster of the Trump administration, but ripping children for the arms of the parents and locking them in cages is at the top of the list. And none of it would have been possible without a major tech-assist from Palantir.

    Palantir’s ICE contract is as unconscionable as Donald Trump himself. Tell Homeland Security to end their contract with Palantir.
