ELITE: Palantir to ICE

Your draft is already strong, it's clear, urgent, and hits the key facts without being too wordy. But yeah, it can feel a bit clunky in spots. Here's a tighter, more professional version that flows better for Upcrowd (keeps the concern vibe while sounding measured): ICE's $30 million ImmigrationOS contract with Palantir (awarded April 2025) has rolled out the ELITE tool, now actively used in Minnesota. It pulls addresses from HHS including Medicaid data to generate AI-powered maps of high-target neighborhoods, build real-time dossiers with photos and details, and assign confidence scores for raid planning in Minneapolis. This predictive surveillance turns everyday health records into deportation tools. It's deeply concerning for privacy and civil rights. We need accountability and oversight.

If you want it even punchier/shorter, drop the sources into a link or comment. Or lean more activist: swap deeply concerning for This has to stop. What vibe are you going for more alarm or more policy-focused?
