In his first interview since Palantir renewed its contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), CEO Alex Karp put on a sympathetic face and defended his company's deep relationship with ICE, the intelligence community, and law enforcement agencies.

In that Bloomberg interview, titled “The Complicated Politics of Palantir’s CEO,” Karp went so far as to call himself a progressive. He laid out how “I grew up in a progressive family, I grew up at Demos, I got a Ph.D. in what could amount to as progressive German thought, living half my life in what could be argued the most progressive part of the world—Europe.”
