- Stephen Miller, who serves as President Trump's deputy chief of staff, holds between $100,000 and $250,000 in Palantir stock, a key contractor for ICE involved in the administration's immigration enforcement initiatives.
- Miller's stock ownership raises conflict of interest concerns since Palantir benefits from ICE contracts and helps build a centralized U.S. government data system.
