In 2018, taxpayers spent $3.076 billion dollars on DHS Custody Operations. A budget four times greater than the Department of Education's English Language Acquisition programs.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition to the cruelty of ICE and the financial costs to taxpayers, ICE is the public face of the United States’ ever-expanding domestic surveillance apparatus. How? Through lucrative contracts with privately held technology companies like Palantir, Microsoft, and even darling GitHub.</div><div><br></div><div>Are we complicit?</div><div><br></div><div>At present, Palantir has 188 repositories hosted on GitHub, which rely on thousands of open source projects. Every dependency in use by ICE and Palantir contributes to human rights violations. Each dependency is a stone in the wall between reality and the dream of open source as a champion of freedom, liberty and equality.</div><div><br></div><div>What can we do?</div><div><br></div><div>Students across the country are organizing to stop Palantir from recruiting on their campuses. Whistleblowers are risking everything to go public detailing how their companies are complicit. International human rights groups are investigating ICE. And immigrant rights activists are working tirelessly to protect vulnerable people from the evils of the current anti-immigrant policies put in place by the Trump administration (and other administrations before his.)</div><div><br></div><div>It's time for software developers to step up, too.</div><div><br></div><div>So what can you as a developer do?</div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>You have a tech industry salary.
