In a heated exchange, Palantir's global head Ted Mabrey defended the company's $30 million contract with ICE to develop the Immigration Lifecycle Operating System amid criticism from Y Combinator founder Paul Graham. The contract, aimed at enhancing deportation strategies, has drawn scrutiny for its role in the Trump administration's policies. Mabrey emphasized the importance of their work in saving lives and urged potential hires to understand the company’s mission. Graham challenged Mabrey to publicly commit to not facilitating constitutional violations, leading to a contentious dialogue on ethics in tech.
