Demand Progress

While Trump’s ICE agents terrorize immigrant communities and separate families across the country, Trump’s billionaire mega-donor Peter Thiel is profiting from the violence.

Thiel founded Palantir, a Big Tech company that Trump has given at least $113 million of our taxpayer money since he took office.¹ Palantir has a $30 million contract with ICE to surveil and track immigrants² so it’s easier for the Trump administration to raid workplaces, schools, and homes.

Trump is using mass surveillance to defy court orders and execute his vicious mass deportations. Our leaders must stop this unconstitutional push towards authoritarianism.

Sign the petition: Urge Congress to stop Trump’s Palantir mass surveillance dragnet against immigrants.

The right-wing is championing the use of advanced government surveillance to target immigrants. Extreme MAGA commentator Laura Loomer said, “Time to deploy Palantir to Los Angeles to deal with the illegals.”³

The White House and Palantir are now also planning to create a master database on everyone in America, including data such as bank account numbers, student debt, medical claims, and disability status.⁴

If his project with Thiel and Palantir succeeds, Trump would have all the information he needs to threaten, persecute, attack, and punish his political enemies. Our elected leaders must take action now to stop him.

Sign the petition: Stop Trump’s mass deportations and dangerous abuse of power.
