What’s Known vs. Unknown

In summary: Palantir powers ICE’s data analytics and targeting for immigration enforcement, raising serious concerns about privacy, civil rights, and the dangers of algorithmic decision-making in law enforcement; lawsuits and advocates have revealed key contract facts, but much of the system’s inner workings remain shielded from the public[1][4][11][3][14].
