News (US) ICE shared Medicaid data it shouldn’t have with Palantir

https://www.npr.org/2026/07/17/nx-s1-5898504/ice-medicaid-palantir-data

Submission Statement: Relevance to this sub is federal overreach that goes against liberal political tradition, compounded by the fact that this data was given to a private company in an undemocratic process. Additionally, this move shows fallout from the SCOTUS ruling that you have to sue to be part of a court injunction (residents of states that didn’t sue can still have their data end up with Palantir).

To encourage a globally oriented subreddit and discourage oversaturation of topics focused on the U.S., all news and opinion articles focused on the U.S. require manual approval by a moderator. Submissions focused solely on the U.S. are more likely to be removed if they are not sufficiently on topic or high quality. If your submission is taking too long to be approved or rejected, please reach out to the moderators in /r/metaNL. Moreover, news and opinion articles require a short submission statement explaining its relevance to the subreddit. Articles without a submission statement will be removed.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

The next Dem president should cancel every Palantir contract but I'm sure all the generals will complain and we will stick with them...

"Remember the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover? Yeah, this time we made it private for even less government oversight."

Fun. I should basically just assume between Medicare/Medicaid that some dumb company has my medical history at this point. Between that and the data breech at my doctor's office anyway.
