US Immigration and Customs Enforcement stored photos of protesters in a Palantir-built database.

According to newly unsealed court filings, ICE agents tracked people observing agency activity in Maine and stored photographs and information about them in a database built by data analytics company Palantir. The filings say agents not only collected this information but also intimidated those being monitored.

An attorney representing the protesters has argued that storing such information about people exercising their right to observe and protest government activity violates First Amendment protections.
