Immigration officials allegedly illegally accessed Medicaid data containing home addresses and ethnicities of millions of people last July. ICE then shared this sensitive information with Palantir, a data analytics firm that uses an app called ELITE to help agents locate noncitizens for deportation. More than 20 Democratic attorneys general revealed this in a court filing on Thursday, suing the Trump administration over the data-sharing agreement.
