Response from Palantir Technologies to Business & Human Rights Resource Centre:

"... While the Center on Privacy & Technology’s report seeks to provide a detailed and extensive overview of activities and programs associated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it is unfortunately sparse on information explaining the distinct organizational and operational subdirectorates comprising ICE, their respective responsibilities, and how those mission sets are supported by various and distinct software systems. We would like to provide clarifications to help better contextualize the few Palantir references in the report."

" ... Palantir’s actual scope of work with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) supports its transnational criminal organization investigative mission and is limited to a case management system (the “ICM” program referenced in the report) and an investigation & analysis system (the “FALCON” program). As the case management software for HSI, ICM is the system in which all HSI agents track information for activities and operations in which they are involved. This includes multi-agency operations, which are not uncommon for federal law enforcement activities spanning jurisdictions and enforcement authorities. HSI’s involvement in such operations would be expected, for example, in instances in which transnational criminal activity or organizations are under investigation."
