Palantir's Global Head of Commercial, Ted Mabrey, responded on social media to criticism over the company’s extended contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham criticized Palantir on X for aiding the Trump administration’s efforts to round up immigrants. Graham tweeted that top programmers have many job options and should avoid working for companies building “police state” infrastructure. Mabrey said the company does not seek partisans and operates across political administrations, emphasizing a culture of internal debate and ideological diversity.
