$1B+ gov contracts Palantir — The Everything Database

Peter Thiel's Palantir integrates surveillance, financial, travel, biometric and criminal data into unified platforms (Gotham, Foundry) used by the CIA, Pentagon, ICE and police. In April 2025 ICE paid $30M for "ImmigrationOS" to give "near real-time visibility" tracking immigrants — folded into a sole-source ICM deal that has ballooned past $145M. Palantir's Maven warfare system, which autonomously detects and tracks humans from surveillance feeds, was boosted to $1.3B with 20,000+ military users. Reporting alleges work toward a cross-agency "master database" on Americans, which Palantir denies.
