"United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement is leveraging Palantir's generative artificial intelligence tools to sort and summarize immigration enforcement tips from its public submission form, according to an inventory released Wednesday of all use cases the Department of Homeland Security had for AI in 2025. The "AI Enhanced ICE Tip Processing" service is intended to help ICE investigators "to more quickly identify and action tips" for urgent cases, as well as translate submissions not made in English, according to the inventory."
"The DHS inventory does not provide many details about the large language models Palantir uses to generate the BLUFs; however, it does note that ICE uses "commercially available large language models" that were "trained on the public domain data by their providers." "There was no additional training using agency data on top of what is available in the models' base set of capabilities," the inventory also notes. "During operation, the AI models interact with tip submissions.""
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deploys a Palantir-provided AI service to process public tip submissions by sorting, translating, and producing BLUF (bottom line up front) high-level summaries. DHS lists the tool as being actively authorized for ICE operations and records the service as having become operational on May 2, 2025. The inventory states that ICE relies on commercially available large language models trained on public domain data with no additional agency training, and that the AI models interact directly with incoming tip submissions. The 2025 DHS inventory includes this use case; the 2024 version did not.
