United States Immigration Law enforcement authorities benefit Palantir generative artificial intelligence Tools for sorting and summarizing Immigration implementation tips from its public submission form, according to an inventory released Wednesday of all the use cases the Department of Homeland Security has for artificial intelligence in 2025.
The AI Enhanced Tip Processing ICE service aims to help ICE investigators “more quickly identify and act on tips” in urgent cases, as well as translate requests not submitted in English, according to the inventory. They also provide a “BLUF”, which is defined as a “high-level summary of advice”, which is produced using at least one large language model. BLUF, or “Bottom Line in Front,” is a military term Also used internally By some Palantir employees.
DHS says the software is “actively licensed” to support ICE operations, adding that the tool helps reduce the “time-consuming manual effort required to review and categorize incoming tips.” The date on which “AI-enhanced limb processing began” is listed as May 2, 2025.
The DHS inventory doesn’t provide many details about the large language models that Palantir uses to create BLUFs; However, it notes that ICE uses “commercially available large language models” that are “trained on public domain data by service providers.”
The inventory also notes that “there was no additional training using agency data in addition to what is available in the core capabilities set of the models.” “During operation, the AI models react to the advice-giving processes.”
“2025 DHS AI Use Case Inventory” Published Wednesday On the DHS website, it has been published every year since 2022. The 2024 version of the inventory does not mention the use of artificial intelligence to process advice requests.
Palantir has been a prime contractor for ICE since 2011 and provides a comprehensive suite of analytical tools to the agency. However, until now, almost nothing has been known about the work processing advice Palantir provides to ICE.
This work was mentioned once in a Palantir company description valued at $1.96 million Premium made by ICE in September 2025. The purpose of the payment was to modify the Investigative Case Management (ICM) system—Copy of Palantir’s off-the-shelf law enforcement product, Gotham, stores information about current or past ICE investigations — to include “investigative intelligence and leadership collection.”
The description does not include any other details about Palantir’s work on this “pipeline” integration.
However, the “AI Enhanced ICE Tip Processing” tool may be an update to the “FALCON Tipline”, which replacing ICE’s former information processing system Circa 2012.
Palantir, ICE and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
According to a DHS document last updated on 2021FALCON Tipline processes tips submitted by the public or law enforcement agencies about “suspected illegal activity” or “suspicious activity” to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Information Unit. ICE appears to have only one advice line, but requests can be made online or by phone.
Entry into the Federal Register at December 2025 He notes that when HSI receives information, investigators within its information unit make “queries” across various “DHS, law enforcement, and immigration databases.” After analyzing these findings, HSI agents write “investigative reports” and then forward the tips to the appropriate offices within the Department of Homeland Security. It’s not clear exactly how much workflow can be supported by modern AI-enhanced processing.
Data from FALCON Tipline, Palantir’s ICM, and several other databases It is eaten It is made available for search by the FALCON search and analysis system, a separate tool but with the same name It has also been developed By Palantir.
