I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose the federal government’s expanded use of Palantir to collect and centralize data on Americans, as described in the recent New York Times article published on May 30, 2025.
This development raises deeply alarming questions about civil liberties, surveillance, and the unchecked growth of federal data-gathering without public consent or sufficient oversight. The use of Palantir—an organization with a controversial track record in predictive policing and government surveillance—to aggregate data from across federal agencies opens the door to mass profiling, misuse of personal information, and the erosion of privacy protections that Americans have a right to expect.
This isn't a partisan issue—it’s a constitutional one. We deserve transparency about what data is being collected, how it’s being used, and by whom. We also need clear legal limits on how government agencies and private contractors like Palantir can interact with that data.
I urge you to:
Publicly oppose this expansion of data collection powers.
Demand hearings and a full investigation into what agencies are participating, what information is being shared, and what safeguards (if any) are in place.
Support or introduce legislation that limits the use of third-party contractors like Palantir in sensitive data aggregation and ensures robust oversight and accountability mechanisms.
Please stand up for our civil liberties and act swiftly to stop this dangerous precedent from taking hold.
