ICE Emails Discuss Using Palantir-Supported Tool to Investigate Voter Fraud

Key points

• US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have investigated over 150 nonprofit groups for evidence of helping noncitizens register to vote. Emails show Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is leading federal voter fraud investigations, with its Innovation Lab developing tools for agents.
• ICE aims to build a system to identify and potentially take action against individuals suspected of voting illegally, using data from the Department of Justice and US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
• The agency is coordinating with Palantir to integrate voter roll data into its ELITE enforcement system, although Palantir claims this data has never been integrated.
