US EditionTrump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans: NYT
- The Trump administration has enlisted Palantir Technologies to compile extensive data on Americans and immigrants using its Foundry software across federal agencies as of 2025.
- This initiative builds on a March 2025 executive order that seeks to reduce inefficiency and improper activities by breaking down data barriers and promoting information sharing across federal agencies.
- Foundry organizes and analyzes diverse government data, including bank accounts, medical claims, student debt, and immigration records, to support Trump administration priorities such as immigration enforcement.
- Following the start of Trump’s presidency, federal contracts with Palantir have exceeded $113 million, with a recent $795 million agreement from the Defense Department further strengthening their collaboration.
- The expanded data integration has drawn criticism from privacy advocates, lawmakers, and former Palantir employees who warn about risks of data misuse, potential impacts on Social Security payments, and concerns over civil liberties.
