According to a Saturday report in the #NYT, concern over #ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many #Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and #US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.

CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up #refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for #deportation.

‘ELITE’: The #Palantir App #ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid
Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential #deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be. Tool receives peoples’ addresses from Department of Health and Human Services ( #HHS) among other sources

“‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off," one flight attendant was told.

“It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,’” said another.

Say no to #Palantir in the #NHS

NHS #England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass #deportation in the US & enabled #genocide in #Gaza

One of Palantir’s founders is also openly against the NHS. #PeterThiel claimed it “makes people sick” & that the British people love NHS because we’re suffering from Stockholm syndrome

We can’t let a company like this take control of our #healthcare system
