A new report reveals former White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s significant financial stake in Palantir, a company benefiting from increased government surveillance contracts.
According to the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), Miller’s financial disclosure indicates assets between $100,001 and $250,000 in the defense company. The stock was reportedly acquired after Donald Trump left office in 2021, before Miller’s plan to enhance immigration enforcement. This revelation sparks concerns about potential conflicts of interest, given Miller’s past involvement in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Palantir has secured contracts to build systems enhancing data sharing between federal agencies, creating a large surveillance database. They are also pursuing involvement in the U.S. Navy’s warship building efforts.
In 2025, Palantir’s stock has surged by 80 percent, making it the S&P’s top performer.
Virginia Canter, chief counsel for ethics at Democracy Defenders Fund, suggests Miller’s stock ownership creates an ethical dilemma. “If he hasn’t stepped over the line, he’s just on the verge of it,” Canter stated, emphasizing the discomfort of Miller retaining the stock.
Critics argue that Miller’s financial interest in Palantir could influence decisions related to DHS’s digital systems, potentially benefiting the company. This adds to existing concerns that Trump’s immigration policies already enrich surveillance and private prison companies.
