Trump government develops migrant tracking software and extensive database system
Title: Big Brother is Watching: Trump's New Migrant Software Revealed
Inside the ImmigrationOS Project
The Trump administration is taking action on immigration like never before. Behind the scenes, tech experts are working on a groundbreaking project known as ImmigrationOS. This system could potentially monitor millions of migrants, with consequences for US citizens and legal residents as well.
The US government's IT whizzes, working for Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" alias Doge, are busy creating a super-database drawing together data from multiple agencies. According to insiders, it could help the authorities keep tabs on migrants, possibly including anyone without US citizenship and their US passport-holding relatives.
A Nation DividedAbout 14 million people in the US currently lack a valid residence permit. Trump has signed bold decrees to target migrants and facilitate mass deportations. Despite the fear of poor treatment, border agents are reportedly capturing fewer migrants than ever before, according to sources. The Trump administration is determined to track migrants every step of the way.
Surveillance StateThe ImmigrationOS software, developed by tech company Palantir, is slated for completion by September's end. Internal documents suggest the collaboration runs until 2027. While Palantir claims it's treating migrants fairly with the software, critics argue otherwise. The government's controversial tactics have already made headlines, most notably the transfer of hundreds of people to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison, without a judicial hearing.
Controversial CapabilitiesImmigrationOS pools together biometric data, Social Security Administration, IRS, and Department of Health information – and that of ICE. Documents suggest the Labor and Housing departments' data could also be integrated. The software's intended purpose is to help track migrant movements in real-time, potentially leading to overzealous surveillance and the targeting of innocent individuals.
The Cost of FreedomUp to seven million non-US citizens could be traced using tax data from the IRS. Previously, IRS data was not shared with other agencies, but a court ruling now allows the Department of Homeland Security access. Critics argue that the collaboration puts privacy at risk, particularly for US citizens and people with legal status. The backlash has been fierce, with several high-ranking IRS officials resigning in protest.
The Big Brother WarningsFor months, warning videos have circulated on social media and TV, featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem urging, "We will find you, and we will deport you." Some argue that Noem's rhetoric only stokes fear and division. However, her recent visit to El Salvador, where she posed with a golden Rolex at a high-security prison, has drawn criticism from human rights organizations, raising concerns about the treatment of deported individuals.

- The Trump administration's employment policy could potentially expand to tap into the ImmigrationOS database, creating concerns about general-news and employment opportunities for residents and citizens alike.
- The controversial ImmigrationOS project, under development by tech company Palantir, aims to use data from several departments, including finance (SSA, IRS, and Department of Health), technology (ICE), and politics (Labor and Housing), raising questions about privacy and the potential misuse of technology in controversies such as crime-and-justice and politics.
- The Trump administration's community policy, as seen in the ImmigrationOS project, has sparked heated debates among critics, human rights organizations, and privacy advocates, who argue that the policy's implementation could lead to a surveillance state reminiscent of the "Big Brother" concept, creating fear and division in the nation.
