ICE Improperly Shared Medicaid Data with Palantir, Raising Privacy Concerns

ICE Improperly Shared Medicaid Data with Palantir, Raising Privacy Concerns

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared Medicaid data with Palantir, which was not supposed to be accessed by the firm. This revelation came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data. The data was used by ICE agents through Palantir's ELITE app to locate noncitizens for deportation. A U.S. District Judge had previously ruled that certain Medicaid data could be shared with ICE, but recent admissions revealed that data beyond the court's order was shared. The Justice Department is seeking to expand the order to allow broader data sharing.

Congress Passes Major Federal Housing Law to Address Shortage

Congress Passes Major Federal Housing Law to Address Shortage

Congress has passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, marking the first major federal housing legislation in decades. The law aims to address the housing shortage by incentivizing cities to increase housing supply. It ties federal block-grant money to housing development results, rewarding cities that add homes and penalizing those that do not. The legislation also streamlines federal environmental reviews and removes outdated regulations that have hindered affordable housing development. This bipartisan effort, led by Senators Tim Scott and Elizabeth Warren, along with Representatives French Hill and Maxine Waters, reflects a growing consensus on the need to build more housing to reduce costs.

ADL and LULAC Partner to Address Anti-Latino Hate with New Initiative

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) have announced a partnership aimed at combating anti-Latino hate. This collaboration was unveiled at the 2026 LULAC National Convention in Dallas-Fort Worth. The ADL will co-fund a new position within its Center on Extremism to research and track anti-Latino hate, leading to the creation of the first-ever State of Anti-Latino Hate report. This initiative is part of ADL's broader Embed program, which seeks to foster relationships with marginalized communities and combat extremism. The partnership comes in response to increasing anti-Latino sentiment, highlighted by the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting, the deadliest attack on Latinos in modern American history.
