ICE Deploys $85 Billion Surveillance Arsenal: Palantir, Clearview AI, and Mobile Fortify

DHS procurement records reveal ICE's surveillance infrastructure now totals $85 billion, anchored by a $30M Palantir ImmigrationOS contract for real-time immigrant tracking, $3.75M for Clearview AI facial recognition (ICE's largest such purchase), and $4.6M for iris-scanning smartphones. Field agents are deploying Mobile Fortify for on-street facial recognition, and ICE added 25 AI use cases since last summer including biometric identity confirmation and mobile device forensics.
