Trump's Tech War Against the Illegal Immigrants ⚙️🛂 🔠🅰️🔠🔠1️⃣ The tech, surveillance and private prison providers arming Trump’s massive expansion and weaponization of immigration enforcement are running a victory lap 🏆 after reporting their latest financial results 💰. Palantir, the tech firm 💻, and Geo Group and CoreCivic, the private prison 🏢 and surveillance companies 📡, said this week that they brought in more money than Wall Street 📈 expected them to, thanks to the administration’s crackdown on immigrants 🚫🛃. “Well, as usual, I’ve been cautioned to be a little modest about our bombastic numbers,” said Alex Karp 🧑‍💼, the Palantir chief executive, in an investor call earlier this week 📞. Then he crowed 🐓 about the company’s “extraordinary numbers” and his “enormous pride” in its success ⭐️. Private prison company executives, during their respective calls, could barely contain their excitement 😏, flagging to investors opportunities for “unprecedented growth”📊 in the realm of immigration detention. Palantir saw 53% 📈 growth in revenue from US government contracts in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the same period the year prior and surpassed $1bn 💵 in total quarterly revenue for the first time. Analysts had expected the company to bring in $939.4m in revenue. The company, which connects and analyzes disparate sets of data 🔍 to enable its customers to build products with that information 🧠, brings in the majority of its revenue from government contracts 🏛. Its biggest US customer is the Department of Defense 🪖, where the US army 🇺🇸, which announced a $10bn agreement 💼 with Palantir last week, is housed. On the immigration side, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 🛡 has deepened its partnership 🤝 with Palantir since the start of the Trump administration, which it’s been working with since 2011. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 🚔, the agency primarily engaged in arresting, detaining and deporting immigrants ✈️, most recently announced a $30m contract with Palantir to build a database 💽 that makes its deportation and detention machine more efficient ⚡️. #palantir#trump#war#immigrants#tech 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
