Amazon’s technology is reportedly used to assist ICE with their enforcement operations, making Amazon complicit in Trump’s “ICE raid.” Who would ever thought -that the same tech man that puts robots in people’s houses which then monitor people’s behaviors; their needs, their purchase habits, their work routes, work schedules, sleep time, and perhaps, fun time, equally puts a tech in the hands of immigration officers to track, jail and separate families!

Protestors swarmed CEO Jeff Bezos‘ apartment, 212 Fifth Avenue, and over 270,000 petitions were signed calling for Amazon to end its ties with ICE.  Indeed, Amazon’s rise to stardom has a direct connection to the concept of people, and new Americans are for sure a part of this.

Amazon technology isn’t the only culprit that effects Trumps’ mass raids of undocumented immigrants. In fact, in this very aspect, it only provides a web cloud service that hosts the tech company in question, Palantir. But Amazon isn’t just guilty by association, it’s behind the sale of facial recognition system sold to the police department, landlords, and supposedly anyone who can afford it across the nation. His employees called him out, but, as always, the big guys would always do what they’ll do.

Palantir, the data mining dragon behind ICE’s raid software, prides itself as a company that embraces diversity. But how exactly does it define what that means? Well, it ” celebrates diversity of background, approach and identity.” How still? Dunno! Doesn’t say. Oh, website says they welcome ” talented and ethical people”.

No information provided on their team leadership and their so called diversity make up. It has offices across the US including in New York City, but won’t dare post its address. There you have it: the undercover data collectors in plain cloths. The mole scientists using a disruptive 21st century rat style. If you work for CIA, sponsored by CIA, report to CIA, you are a CIA.

Here is an objection: undocumented immigration is illegal and both Amazon and Palantir are only doing their job to fulfil their patriotic duties against crime. True that. The point though is solving immigration problem requires a well deliberated approach; a consensus that majority of the people could subscribe to, and not the one pursued under a leadership that had been compromised by a reputation of bigotry and white supremacy ideology.

But let it not be said, at all, that the same company that knows almost everybody’s home address and possibly what they do in their bedrooms, and that pushes $12.99 Prime membership, aggressively so, to everything that breathes, is also the same one colluding with ICE. If this does not constitute conflict of interest, then what does?
