Immigration and customs application signed an agreement of $ 30 million with Palantir for software modules to follow self-supporting and immigrants who have exceeded their visas, according to government files.
A contract examined by Business Insider said that the operating system of the immigration life cycle – or immigrationos – will minimize “time and resources expenses” to select and apprehend immigrants according to ice application priorities.
In addition to the “violent criminals” and the “affiliates of known transnational criminal organizations”, the contract also cited the overvalued visa as a priority for expulsion.
Immigrationos will extend the ICE case management system to include “almost real visibility in cases of self-exporting”. The contract indicated that the new immigrationos would rationalize “from the end -to -end life cycle of immigration from identification with deletion”.
The agency grants Palant $ 29.8 million for a prototype to be delivered by September 25.
According to the contract, the new software is necessary for the ice to achieve the recent executive orders of President Donald Trump appointing illegal immigration and transnational organized crime as important national security threats.
A spokesperson for the ICE said that the agreement is a change in an existing contract. Palantir did not respond to requests for comments.
The new agreement is an extension of a contract that the Biden administration has signed with the defense entrepreneur in 2022 For “operations and maintenance” support services. The Ministry of Internal Security contracted Palantant for the first time to build its case management system in 2014.
The software brings together information from a wide range of government databases and allows DHS agents to keep detailed recordings on potential offenders for immigration for future application measures. It includes “sharing data with customs and border protection for research and monitoring of crises”.
The documents underline an accent increased to the expulsion of immigrants who have legally entered the country but which may have violated the conditions of their visas, which is generally a civil and non-criminal offense.
“Palant has developed a deep institutional knowledge of ice operations over more than a decade of support,” wrote Ice in the documents. “Their systems have been adapted to meet the strict safety and confidentiality standards of the DHS.”
Palantant employees have worked in recent weeks to increase ice capacity to follow immigrants who have already given a final removal order and will continue to accelerate an immigrationos prototype, by 404 media.
