Today, nearly 100 of us gathered in the middle of a workday to shut down @PalantirTech Palo Alto. Palantir's collaboration w/ ICE enables HSI workplace raids like the one that stole 700 migrants last week. PT employees cannot eat lunch in peace while their products terrorize. @PalantirTech @ConMijente @MPower_Change @AROCBayArea @ShahidForChange @OaklandPrivacy @4aPeoplesParty @NeverAgainActn @JFREJNYC @SIREN_BayArea @svdebug @PalantirTech claims their collaboration w/ ICE doesn't enable deportations, but we know they supply tech for workplace raids that deport families & migrants seeking asylum. This tech isn’t about public safety or national security. This cruelty is meant to terrorize. #DisarmICE

THREAD: From ICE workplace raids to foreign intervention to points-based “predictive policing,” @PalantirTech has created a reign of terror that targets the most marginalized w/ impunity. We must act now to #DisarmICE and the tech backbone that oppresses and destroys communities. @PalantirTech @ConMijente @4aPeoplesParty @svdebug @SIREN_BayArea @RAICESTEXAS @bayarea_twc @techworkersco @PSL_SF @JVPBayArea @OaklandPrivacy 1. Palantir’s $52 million contract w/ ICE helps it access & manage personal data: biometrics, DMV & property records, healthcare information, bank statements, phone records, & more. ICE builds profiles of and targets people through use of @PalantirTech.
