I think it is so sad to see what happened to Lyle and Erik Menendez. But i am so incredibly happy to hear that they may be getting parole. I think it is heartbreaking to read about what happened to them. What they went through was extremely traumatic abuse. and they were very much made to feel like they had no other choice. they felt that they had to defend themselves. they felt that if they didn't kill their parents that their lives were going to be at risk. they spent time in jail bettering themselves and forming a group to help deal with untreated trauma. they spent time helping make the lives of other inmates better.

Why are you more upset that people are protesting ICE than the fact that ICE is kidnapping people and violating their human right?

Why are you more upset at the protesters throwing water bottles and rocks at cops than the fact that those cops are in riot gear shooting rubber bullets and tear gas on protesters who were peaceful?

Why do you care more about destruction of property than human life?

Palantir Makes Tens Of Millions Of Dollars From Helping ICE "Deport" People

💵 How Palantir Profits from Deportation-Related Work

1. ICE Contracts: ImmigrationOS

In April 2025, ICE awarded Palantir a $29.8–30 million contract to build “ImmigrationOS,” a data platform designed to enhance tracking of visa overstays, self-deportations, and deportation logistics.

The platform aims to give ICE “near real-time visibility” into people overstaying their visas and help streamline identification-to-removal operations.

2. Longstanding Relationship

Palantir has worked with ICE since 2014, beginning with a $41 million contract to create the Investigative Case Management system (ICM).

This system helps track immigrants’ personal and criminal histories, and is used to assist in identifying targets for arrest and deportation.

3. Use of Surveillance & Data

ImmigrationOS incorporates biometric data, geolocation, and physical identifiers (such as height, eye color, and tattoos), as well as license plate data.

It is also used to monitor “self-deportation” and individuals who have received final orders of removal.

4. Human Rights and Civil Liberties Concerns

Amnesty International and NYU Stern have raised alarms that ImmigrationOS likely facilitates human rights abuses by expediting deportations and undermining due process.

Civil liberties advocates argue that Palantir is “complicit” in immigration operations that may violate individual rights.

5. Financial Impact

Government contracts make up over 42% of Palantir’s revenue.

The ImmigrationOS deal coincided with a 70% rise in Palantir’s stock price in 2025, highlighting how deportation-related work contributes to its financial growth.

Critics argue that the company is directly profiting from the expansion of aggressive immigration enforcement.

⚖️ Is It “Profiting Off” Deportations?

Yes — Palantir earns tens of millions of dollars from ICE contracts that directly support deportation operations. These platforms assist with:

Identifying and tracking individuals,

Monitoring compliance,

Coordinating deportation logistics.

This has resulted in increased revenue and stock value for Palantir, but has also drawn intense criticism for enabling potentially abusive practices.

🛡️ What the Company Says

Palantir claims its platforms are intended to support law enforcement investigations and promote public safety. The company has emphasized that many contracts are with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), not directly with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), though documents show overlap in use.

✅ Summary

Yes, Palantir profits significantly from deportation-related technology.

Critics warn that it accelerates deportations and undermines due process.

Human rights organizations are calling for more oversight and restrictions on Palantir’s immigration-related work.

Your fear and anxiety right now are not signs of weakness. They’re evidence of your conscience, your awareness, your compassion. And you’re not helpless, even if it feels that way. You're grounded in reality, and you still have agency, even if it feels like the walls are closing in.

this is nazism. nazis have taken over the united states. what the fuck else do you want me to call it? there is a militia of people with masks on, not identifying themselves, with no badges, abducting people off of the streets, with no due process, taking them in unmarked vehicles, to a concentration camp. and 70-90% of those people have no criminal record either, no right to an attorney, no way of contacting home, and they have no hope whatsoever that they are going to survive. and this militia has a quota of 3,000 people per day, it was just increased from 1,500 people a day. human beings. with todd lyons saying, "We need to get better at treating this like a business … like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings."

I swear I wake up every single morning, look at my phone, and see some more HORRIBLE news about politics having to do with specifically, the president of the united states. every single morning. i'm not really shocked or surprised by it anymore. i basically expect it! and if there's not a literal notification waiting for me on the lock screen, i go on any app at all, and see something about it.

I hate this motherfucker the most. People in my family who should know better fell under the sway of this lying, psychotic monster. If you’ve ever loved anyone with any kind of disability, you are betraying them by looking up to this man and giving weight to anything he says.
