Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has secured a significant $30 million contract with Palantir Technologies to develop a sophisticated software system named ImmigrationOS. This initiative is designed to enhance ICE’s ability to track immigrants who have overstayed their visas and those who self-deport.

By expanding an existing case management system, ImmigrationOS aims to streamline the enforcement process with near real-time tracking and data sharing capabilities with Customs and Border Protection. This contract extends a previous agreement made with Palantir under the Biden administration for support services, marking a continued partnership in strengthening national security measures.
