Key facts
- More specifically, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)—one of ICE’s two major components—is spearheading the effort to uncover voter fraud, with its Innovation Lab (known internally as iLab)
- Voter roll data has never been integrated into ELITE,” a Palantir spokesman tells WIRED
- The revelation is found in a tranche of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request and published this week by Democracy Forward, a legal advocacy group
- What specifically was enriched and pending Palantir entry is unclear from the records, but in another email in the same chain, a DHS official said that someone from the agency would send the update
