ICE Illegally Shares Medicaid Data with Palantir

Federal data-sharing overreach combined with private surveillance pipelines poses a grave threat to public health privacy and statutory protections.

• –ICE improperly obtained Medicaid records from CMS without legal authority to track locations and ethnicities for deportation purposes.
• –Palantir integrated the illicit health dataset into its ELITE application, highlighting how private contractors amplify state surveillance capabilities.
• –Repeated improper disclosures after court challenges demonstrate systemic friction and failure in removing unlawfully gathered data from active government analytics systems.
