Palantir Database Allegedly Used by DHS to Compile ICE Protestor Dossiers

Unsealed court documents from a class action lawsuit reveal DHS agents are allegedly creating dossiers on individuals observing or protesting ICE operations. The files are reportedly stored in Palantir's Investigative Case Management database, holding sensitive data like photos and license plates. According to the lawsuit, agents tracked observers, drove by their homes, and labeled them as a "Threat to Law Enforcement" or "Professional Protestor." One agent allegedly threatened to add a protestor's spouse to a domestic terrorism watchlist over their activities. A DHS spokesperson dismissed the case as "meritless" and strictly denied the existence of a database tracking domestic terrorists.
