Stephen Miller Owns Up to $250,000 in Palantir Stock, Report Finds

Palantir is reportedly building a mega-database of Americans’ personal information for the Trump administration.

Published June 24, 2025

New reporting has revealed that President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff owns over $100,000 in stock of Palantir, the shady firm said to be tapped by the Trump administration to create an unprecedented mega-database of Americans’ data, in the latest instance of a likely conflict of interest and corruption within the White House ranks.

Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s fascist immigration policy, owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in stock in Palantir, according to a new financial disclosure first reported by watchdog group Project on Government Oversight (POGO).

Palantir is a major contractor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning that it is likely that Miller’s ownership of Palantir stock represents a major conflict of interest. Experts told POGO that even if he hasn’t directly had dealings with Palantir through his work, the firm is too close to the policies he oversees for him to own the stock without the appearance of impropriety.

if there are financial incentives involved in the ICE raids and deportations. Little Stevie said he wants 3000 arrests a day. Are there bonuses for the masked Brownshirts if they reach a certain number of arrests? Some other scheme to drive up Palantir stock?

Shares of Palantir have rocketed nearly 90% higher this year (2025), thanks in part to the company's expanding role with the U.S. government under the Trump administration.
