CEO of Palantir Technologies Alex Karp attends the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S., July 15, 2025.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp said protesters demonstrating against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement should support the use of his company's tools in the government.
"If you are critical of ICE, you should be out there protesting for more Palantir," he told CNBC's Morgan Brennan in an interview on Monday discussing the company's fourth-quarter results. "Our product actually, in its core, requires people to conform with Fourth Amendment data protections."
Karp's comments come as anti-ICE protests continue in Minneapolis following the fatal shootings of two demonstrators.
Documents released by the Department of Homeland Security last week also showed that the company is providing AI tools to the agency to help it sift through tips.
Palantir has previously been criticized for its work with ICE. Federal documents from April revealed that the company had a $30 million contract with the agency to provide "real-time visibility" on people self-deporting.
The company's software is used by other government agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, and, most notably, the Department of Defense.
