Trump "transition adviser" Peter Thiel might rake in millions with software for mass deportations
According to a review of public records, the outlet found that Palantir, Thiels data analysis company, would likely provide its services to the Trump administrations deportation efforts.
Already, Immigrations and Customs Enforcements Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has used Palantir to create its own data mining system called FALCON.
The programs Search & Analysis System enables ICE law enforcement and homeland security personnel to store, search, analyze, and visualize volumes of existing information in support of ICEs mission, according to the program description. Palantir was paid millions of dollars for providing its services to create and assist in operating the program.
Palantir is also building a case management system for HSI, according to the records, which show that the contract is worth millions of dollars. The New York Times reported earlier this year that Thiels company had made nearly $340 million from the federal government.
