404 Media published a user guide for ELITE, a Palantir tool used by ICE to identify potential deportation targets. The tool uses data from HHS and other government agencies to create dossiers and assign confidence scores to individuals.
Earlier this month we revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using a Palantir tool called ELITE to decide which neighborhoods to raid. The tool lets ICE populate a map with potential deportation targets, bring up dossiers on each person, and view an address āconfidence scoreā based on data sourced from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other government agencies. This is according to a user guide for ELITE 404 Media obtained. 404 Media is now publishing a version of that user guide so people can read it for themselves. š” Do you know anything else about ELITE? Do you work at Palantir, ICE, or CBP? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.
