Stephen Miller’s Financial Stake in ICE Contractor Palantir Raises Conflict Concerns

https://migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-miller-palantir]

Palantir’s ICE contract and political connections have long been controversial. The company’s tools have enabled ICE agents to identify, detain and deport people, including through recent enhancements that give officers near-real-time data on self-deportations. Meanwhile, Palantir stock has surged more than 80% this year, making it one of the top performers on the S&P 500.

Miller’s disclosure also revealed that the Palantir stock is held in one of his children’s brokerage accounts, but federal ethics rules apply the same legal standards to assets owned by spouses or minor children.

In a statement to POGO, the White House defended Miller’s disclosures and said he will continue to recuse himself from decisions that could directly impact his personal investments. Palantir did not respond to POGO’s request for comment.

The report follows a pattern of Trump appointees and allies with financial interests in Palantir. POGO previously documented that at least 10 other current or former White House and Department of Homeland Security staffers also owned stock in the company. Four Trump appointees at DHS have reported owning Palantir shares, including Paul Ingrassia, White House liaison to DHS, who was recently nominated to lead the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.


Bondi may or may not hold Palantir stock, but it's a good bet she is enjoying a lot of inside information on what to buy or sell due to her position. We know none of the appointees are there to serve the public.
