ICE shared Medicaid data illegally with Palantir

Court documents in a lawsuit brought by Democratic-led states have revealed that ICE shared Medicaid data it had no legal authority to possess with data analytics giant Palantir, apparently to assist in deportation operations. The disclosure has intensified the legal battle over the Trump administration's use of sensitive health records for immigration enforcement. The case marks a significant escalation in concerns about federal agencies repurposing welfare data.
