Hold ICE Accountable For Medical Data Theft ICE illegally obtained Medicaid records for millions of people and funneled them to private contractor Palantir is an egregious violation of public trust and federal law. This is no mere bureaucratic glitch; it is the calculated weaponization of healthcare data to fuel a ruthless deportation machine. CMS flagrantly violated federal court orders by handing over confidential files containing the home addresses and personal lives of citizens, refugees, and legal residents alike. ICE then distributed this sensitive data across corporate apps and informal Microsoft Teams chats, showing complete and utter contempt for judicial oversight. We cannot allow lawless federal agencies and surveillance tech profiteers to treat our private medical histories as an open-source surveillance asset. I demand immediate public hearings and severe, non-negotiable consequences. You must slash ICE’s discretionary funding, permanently terminate all federal intelligence contracts with Palantir, and pass ironclad legislation criminalizing the exploitation of healthcare databases. Do your job and enforce real accountability right now. Leaders who refuse to protect constituents from such overreach will be replaced.
