Trump Advisor Stephen Miller Reportedly Holds Stake Worth Millions In ICE Contractor Palantir: 'He Could Easily...Have A

Direct And Predictable Impact

'The White House’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, known for shaping the Trump administration’s stringent immigration policies, reportedly owns a significant amount of stock in ICE contractor Palantir Technologies Inc.

What Happened: Miller’s financial disclosures reportedly indicate that he holds up to $250,000 worth of shares in Palantir, a company that plays a crucial role in the operations of U.S. immigration officials. The investment is held in a brokerage account belonging to one of Miller’s children, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. The financial filings were obtained by the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, which revealed the revisions as recent as June 4.

Since the Obama era, Palantir's technology has enabled ICE to consolidate data sources to more effectively identify immigrants for arrest and deportation, with ICE calling its services "Mission Critical."

The investigation also found 11 other officials with Palantir stock holdings, though none as substantial as Miller's, the report said. Don Fox, a former acting head and former general counsel of the Office of Government Ethics, told the watchdog, "He could easily become involved in policy matters that have a direct and predictable impact on Palantir.”

And their need to be cruel.

In addition to naming and shaming the uniform-wearing Nazi war criminals who enacted The Final Solution, there are numerous exhibits that identify by name the mundane accountants, clerks and secretaries, and how their complicity in carrying out their duties enabled the horrors of The Holocaust.

Just sayin’…
