ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos into a Palantir Database

I wonder if Palantir keeps a database of ICE activity.

If so, I wonder how much it will cost for the next democratic DOJ to purchase it, or if the courts will simply compel Palantir to hand it over.

> According to the legal filing, that afternoon, J.C. [an ICE agent] called [the spouse of an individual who had lawfully recorded an ICE detainment] on her cell phone, identifying himself only as "the Department of Homeland Security." According to [the call recipient], he told her she "should encourage" her spouse, [the observer], "not to do anything like that in the future because people who are doing things like that might get added to a domestic terrorism watchlist." J.C. testified in a deposition that he warned [the observer’s spouse] she would be arrested if she “continue[d] to do this.”

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone following US news, but we should be angry about it. Textbook intimidation.

> Government attorneys asserted in a court filing that [agent J.C.] denied referencing a “domestic terrorism watchlist.”

And then they lied about it!

Hey guys, if you have a dashcam that can record at any time, start hitting that button when you think there might even be an inkling of an unmarked vehicle by you. Back up that footage and save it.
