Minnesota: Protest Calls To End State Investments In Palantir

Minneapolis, MN - August 26, 50 protesters rallied to demand an end to Palantir’s catastrophic violence in Gaza and terror campaign here in the United States. The action included three banners on the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge, which connects Loring Park to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden over Interstate-94. The banners read, “MN money funds AI weapons: divest MN from Palantir,” “Divest Minnesota from apartheid Israel! No tax $$$ for occupation” and “Divest MN from Palantir! Israel and Palantir out of Palestine!” Organizers explained how Palantir has a long, dark history, made worse under the Trump administration.

Nurses Hold Nationwide Civil Disobedience Actions

On Thursday, Aug. 27, hundreds of registered nurses — joined by patients and community allies — mobilized to demand hospitals and elected officials immediately cut ties with artificial intelligence (AI) giant Palantir. The nurses, who are members of National Nurses United, the nation’s largest union of registered nurses, stopped traffic in an act of civil disobedience in eight cities: Palo Alto, California; Los Angeles; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Portland, Maine; Asheville, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and New Orleans. The actions included visual displays of the deadly costs of Palantir’s products.

Palantir Profits From European Public Services; Avoids Taxes That Fund Them

Tech company Palantir has become widely known for the dystopian values espoused by its founders and their stated support for Israel throughout the genocide in Gaza. A new report now indicates the company may also be engaged in extensive tax dodging, allowing it to avoid contributing to the public services it profits from. Launched on August 5 by the European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) and the Center for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research (CICTAR), the report identifies “an estimated €12 million (approximately USD 13.8 million) ‘tax gap’ between what Palantir pays in Europe and what they would have paid if they didn’t shift profits to the United States.”

How Peter Thiel’s Palantir Scored A Contract With NHS

Health organizations are urging the British government to use an exit clause in its contract with tech firm Palantir and shift from its Federated Data Platform (FDP) in the National Health Service (NHS) in early 2027. Recent reports by Medact, Just Treatment, and other groups argue that Palantir’s system brings limited benefits at the cost of patient trust and data security – not to mention millions of pounds. The organizations called for scaling up existing NHS-led innovations in data management, avoiding vendor lock-in, and ensuring that future projects in this area are based on need and evidence. The reports thus echoed recommendations from the Health and Social Care Committee, which also advised the government to drop the agreement next year.

Spain Blacklists Palantir Over Domestic Security Concerns

Spain's government launched a blacklist of CIA-backed Palantir Technologies from public and private state-controlled entities, Spanish media reported on 1 July. The Spanish Prime Minister's Office issued directives to companies under the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI) to cease future contracting due to security concerns and worries regarding the vulnerability of sensitive state data. The ban targets organizations handling high-level communications and military intelligence, including Indra, Telefonica, and the shipbuilder Navantia. 

15 Arrested In Anti-ICE Passover Takeover Of Palantir’s Lobby

Fifteen protesters participating in a special Passover seder condemning ICE operations were cuffed in Manhattan on Monday night after the participants occupied the lobby of Palantir’s headquarters and refused to leave. The hours-long event began earlier in the day, around 5 p.m. on April 6, at Union Square for the sixth night of Passover and was held by Jews for Racial & Economic Justice for a “Seder in the Streets.” Attended by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a host of other elected officials, protesters looked to condemn President Trump’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

US To Embed Palantir AI Across Entire Military: Report

The Pentagon has designated Palantir's Maven artificial intelligence system as an official program of record, in a move that will lock in the weapons-targeting technology long term across ‌the US military, Reuters reported on 21 March. The move was announced in a letter from Deputy Secretary of War Steve ​Feinberg issued to senior Pentagon leaders and US military commanders on 9 March. Feinberg wrote that embedding Palantir's Maven Smart System would provide the military "with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains."

Health Groups Reiterate Warnings About Palantir Involvement In NHS

A recent briefing by health and human rights organizations, including Medact and Just Treatment, raises alarm over spy-technology firm Palantir’s involvement in the British National Health Service (NHS). For years, health workers and patients have been warning against the company gaining ground in healthcare through the introduction of the Federated Data Platform (FDP), which could allow it to coopt sensitive data for non-health-related purposes like policing and immigration enforcement. The report details concerns about Palantir’s involvement in human rights abuses – particularly its cooperation with the Israeli occupation throughout the genocide in Gaza and support of ICE operations in the US.

United Kingdom Hospitals Urged To Scrap Palantir

A coalition of leading human rights, health groups and trade unions has urged NHS England to cancel its contract with Palantir based on serious risks to the NHS. Medact has sent its new briefing document, Concerns Regarding Palantir Technologies in NHS Data Systems, to all NHS trust and Integrated Care Board CEOs. It urges them to exercise their local autonomy and not comply with NHS England’s instruction to adopt Palantir’s Federated Data Platform. Assessing the risks posed by the company’s technology to patients and the NHS, the briefing raises alarm over data protection, governance, procurement practices, state surveillance and the wider human rights implications of embedding Palantir’s systems across the health service.

Peter Thiel Is Unleashing A Neocolonial Billionaire Fantasy In Honduras

In April 2025, Peter Thiel’s Palantir made headlines after documents were released detailing its partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to create ImmigrationOS, a massive database of information gathered from a variety of sources including the IRS, in order to surveil, detain, and deport immigrants. Thiel is not new to spearheading endeavors that aim to dehumanize and attack people of color. In fact, the tech mogul is one of the billionaires leading our modern-day version of tech neocolonialism, the new-yet-old imperial monster that colonizes land, extracts resources, exploits natives, and is happy to profit off of their suffering.

Denver Continues To Demand ‘Palantir Out!’

Denver, CO – On January 31 over 100 protesters gathered at James Manley Park in Denver for a rally against the tech and AI surveillance company Palantir, which has been headquartered in the state since leaving their Silicon Valley location in 2020. This spring, the company plans to move from their downtown Denver office to the Cherry Creek Financial House just four miles away. Crowds began gathering at the park around 10 a.m., rallying with signs demanding “No AI for war crimes!” and “No AI for ICE!” Palantir has been involved closely in contracts and deals with both the Israeli Defense Force and ICE.

Palantir Using US Health Data To Provide ICE With Deportation Targets

Palantir Technologies, the CIA-linked technology firm, has come under fire for its role in helping US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track and arrest undocumented immigrants targeted for deportation using information from government databases, Fortune reported on 28 January. ELITE, a tracking tool used by ICE and developed by Palantir, uses data from the government healthcare program Medicaid and other government databases to generate profiles of individuals ICE believes may be deportable. “ICE is using a Palantir tool that uses Medicaid and other government data to stalk people for arrest,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit advocating for internet freedom, recently wrote.

British Government Pressures NHS Institutions To Adopt Palantir Plan

The British government continues to push National Health Service (NHS) institutions to implement a contract with Palantir – a US tech firm complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza and in ongoing ICE violence in the United States – despite risks to data protection, health sovereignty, and access to care. A discussion coordinated by the Peace and Justice Project on Tuesday, January 20, brought together researchers, activists, and health workers to examine the likely consequences of the plan. The issue is not new to activists: many local initiatives have already opposed the NHS becoming reliant on Palantir products.

Denver Anti-War Protests Target New Palantir Headquarters

Denver, CO – On December 21, protesters gathered at the Cherry Creek Financial House in Denver for a noise rally to protest at the new headquarters of Palantir. The tech and AI surveillance company has plans to move into the new Cherry Creek location after months of community organizing have made their downtown headquarters untenable. Palantir, whose technology is widely used by ICE to track immigrants and by Israel to facilitate genocide in Gaza, was invited to place its headquarters in Denver by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, after protests drove them out of California in 2020.

Denver Continues Protests Against Palantir

Denver, CO – On July 26, Coloradans gathered outside Denver’s Union Station in a rally against software development company Palantir, which is complicit with apartheid Israel. Palantir develops artificial intelligence used both by ICE to facilitate mass arrests and deportations and by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with programs like “Lavender” and “Where’s Daddy” used to target and slaughter innocent Palestinian civilians and families by identifying targets, tracking them back to their homes, and deploying bombs. The protesters took aim at the Tabor Center, a skyscraper located in downtown Denver which leases out the 15th floor to Palantir to use as its headquarters.
