What does the lawsuit allege DHS agents did?

The lawsuit alleges that Department of Homeland Security agents compiled dossiers on individuals observing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. It claims agents intimidated observers by driving past their homes and stored information, including photos and license plate numbers, in Palantir's Investigative Case Management system. At least two individuals were reportedly tagged as 'Threat to Law Enforcement, Professional Protestor'.

How did DHS respond to the allegations?

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security called the lawsuit 'meritless'. The spokesperson stated that the claim was based on a false premise that DHS operates a database of 'domestic terrorists'. The government's legal filing argued that the alleged actions were isolated incidents prohibited by policy.

What system is at the centre of the lawsuit?

The lawsuit centres on the Investigative Case Management (ICM) system, which is built by Palantir Technologies. This system is reportedly used by Homeland Security Investigations to track case files. The allegations claim that information gathered on ICE observers was stored within this database.
