The ACLU just revealed the full breadth of ICE's contract w/@ThomsonReuters.
Guess what? That information is integrated with @PalantirTech. The gov. EXPLICITLY demanded that the Reuters program be compatible w/Palantir.
Our report released last year shows how. #NoTechforICE

Thousands of ICE agents have access to BILLIONS of license plate records from across the country—even from sanctuary cities
They use this info to track people in real time.
Those license plates are fed into Palantir to "narrow in and locate persons & assets of interest."

This is by design.
When ICE contracted Thomson-Reuters, it SPECIFICALLY required the database be compatible w/Palantir so it could be used by ICE agents on the ground.
ICE agents use Palantir to "store, search, analyze, & visualize" data to target immigrants for deportation.

The Thomson-Reuters software is terrifying.
It can uses data to "build a full picture of a subject, witness, or business" for gov. agencies like ICE.
It advertises real-time booking information, billions of license plate records, cellphone data, & more. legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/cl…

THIS is the danger of information sharing.
Not only does ICE automatically get access to billions of records from cameras across the country, it thens uses sophisticated tools—like Palantir—on that data.
THIS is how ICE tracks us to our homes, our kids' schools, & our work.

And this happens EVEN IF particular municipalities have passed sanctuary city laws that prevent them from cooperating with ICE.
That doesn't matter.
These cities' data is still sucked up by software like that provided by Thomson-Reuters, shared with ICE, & analyzed by Palantir.

We exposed dozens & dozens of similar contracts last year in our report.
There are so many tech companies providing records to gov. agencies. They're making billions.
Silicon Valley has become the heart of military & law enforcement contracting.

We found that Palantir & @AWScloud were the worst offenders, selling custom tools for ICE to target & build profiles of immigrants for deportation & storing vast quantities of data for ICE.
Our video explained more.

This must be the new forefront in our activism.
ICE is storming into workplaces, guns drawn, tackling & arresting people for deportation. They're arresting people in front of their children's schools & at their homes.
Tech "solutions" only enhance these fascist actions.

We call on @ThomsonReuters to cancel its ICE contract.
No firm should be in the business of abusing human rights, particularly not one that employs thousands of hard-working & award-winning reporters across the world.
They deserve better. We deserve better. Cancel the contract.
