Meet the smart Democrats AND Republicans who are ‘profiting’ off deportations

At least seven members of Congress have been tangentially profiting off the mass deportation of illegal aliens.

The seven have accomplished this by trading the stock for Palantir, a technology company that’s been hired by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to create deportation software.

“In mid-April, ICE awarded Palantir a $30 million contract to deliver a new platform — the Immigration Lifecycle Operating System (ImmigrationOS) — by Sept. 25,” according to Axios.

“The prototype will give ICE ‘near real-time visibility’ on people self-deporting from the U.S. … It will also help the agency track and manage deportations, monitor visa overstays and target transnational criminal organizations,” the outlet reported in May.

Around this time, the following seven congressional Democrats and Republicans began purchasing or selling Palantir stock, according to an investigation by The Bulwark:

• Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna
• Democrat Rep. Julie Johnson
• Democrat Rep. Gil Cisneros
• Republican Rep. James Comer
• Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
• Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan
• Republican Rep. Jefferson Shreve

There were a couple of disclaimers.

The Bulwark noted that “Khanna’s transactions are made by an outside financial adviser who manages investments for his family.” The same is true of Greene and Bresnahan.

A spokesperson for Johnson told The Bulwark that she’s been only selling Palantir, not buying it.

“Upon her swearing-in earlier this year, the Congresswoman began the process of divesting her stocks from numerous accounts, all managed by independent third parties, into ETFs and mutual funds to avoid any potential conflicts of interest with her congressional work,” the spokesperson said.

As for Shreve, he reportedly sold up to $100,000 in Palantir stock in May as part of his account closure.

This is pretty wild.

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought stock in Palantir on April 8th.

On April 17th, a massive ICE contract with Palantir was announced.

These seven members of Congress aren’t alone. According to a new report, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has also been trading Palantir and currently owns anywhere between $100,000 to $250,000 worth of Palantir stock.

However, Miller’s purchases of the stock came way before Palantir’s recent deal with ICE.

“Miller’s investments in Palantir stock — which was first offered to the public in fall 2020 — appear to have started after the first Trump administration ended,” according to the Project on Government Oversight (POGO).

In the years between Trump’s first term and his second, Miller meticulously planned for an unprecedented increase in immigration enforcement. Miller’s newest disclosure was filed in mid-March and signed off by a White House ethics official in early June.

In fairness to Miller, “the Palantir stock is in a brokerage account for one of [his] young children,” according to POGO.

All this comes amid reports that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is still swimming in wealth thanks to her husband’s portfolio.

“Pelosi raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million,” the New York Post reported, citing financial disclosures.

Much like with her colleagues’ Palantir stock trades, her stock trades have also been mysteriously timed.

“The former House Speaker … and her husband dumped 5,000 shares of Microsoft stock worth an estimated $2.2 million in July — one of their largest sales in three years — a few short months before the FTC announced an antitrust investigation into the tech giant,” the Post notes as an example.

Similarly, Fox News host Jesse Watters previously in 2021 exposed how Pelosi’s family wealth exploded AFTER she became a congresswoman.

Watters started by noting that sometime after Pelosi’s husband opened the real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm Financial Leasing Services, Inc., he used his newly made “connections” to push her into politics, “helping her get elected to Congress in 1987.”

Following her election to office, their wealth exploded.

“The couple has timed the market perfectly over the years while Nancy’s been a Washington insider,” Watters said. “Real estate stocks — the Pelosis always know what the right investment is. Since getting married, they’ve acquired a mansion in Napa Valley, a vineyard home worth up to 25 million — [a] real luxury.”

“It’s on 16 acres. Pelosi has a gorgeous waterfront condo in the exclusive K Street region in D.C., now worth over two million. She has a multi-million-dollar red brick mansion in California’s Pacific Heights. And Paul owns at least two commercial properties in San Francisco,” the Fox News host continued.
