Per New York Times, an executive order issued in March directs federal agencies to share unclassified information, enabling the Trump administration to use Palantir’s Foundry platform to integrate data across departments such as DHS, HHS, IRS, Social Security, and Pentagon.

Foundry provides a unified interface for analyzing and visualizing inter-agency datasets, with the potential to merge bank records, medical claims, student debt, immigration logs, and other personal data.

Palantir reportedly has received over $113 million in new federal contracts under Trump and is currently in discussions with SSA and IRS to expand its integration across agencies.

Privacy advocates and some conservative supporters have raised concerns about heightened surveillance. Critics describe the initiative as risk‑laden, warning it could produce a “master database” of Americans with power centralized in the executive branch.

Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp has denied allegations of unlawful surveillance and emphasized Foundry includes “granular security protections.” The company also stated no contract exists to build a master citizen database.

At a DC AI+ Expo, Palantir responded to media scrutiny by limiting journalist access to demonstrations and asserting neutrality over media criticism.
