According to Cox's report, the Elite app uses advanced data analysis to identify specific neighborhoods where ICE agents can conduct raids. This tool is part of a larger trend of using technology to aid in immigration enforcement, which has sparked controversy and raised questions about civil liberties.

The report highlights Palantir's role in developing the Elite app, raising concerns about the company's involvement in government surveillance. Palantir has faced criticism for its work with law enforcement agencies, including providing data analysis tools to ICE.
