Palantir employees have spent weeks asking questions company leadership for company work answers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On Friday, Palantir CEO Alex Karp finally appeared to give the—kind of.

In an email sent to all Palantir employees, Courtney Bowman, Palantir’s global director of privacy and civil liberties engineering, shared a prerecorded, nearly hour-long video conversation with Karp about Palantir’s involvement with ICE.

“In the wake of recent events, internal conversations, and calls from many of you to better understand how executive leadership is grappling with questions central to Palantir’s place in the world today, I sat down with Dr. Karp earlier for a longform discussion,” Bowman wrote in the email, viewed by WIRED. “To be clear, our purpose in this exchange is not to cover every detail of every controversy that graces the company’s liveliest Slack channels, or to fully assuage every concern you might bring to each one… (Palantir leadership sometimes refers to employees as “hobbits,” after the fictional Lord of the Rings characters.)

The video doesn’t answer specific questions about Palantir’s product capabilities, however, or how ICE uses Palantir’s products. Instead, the video says workers can sign nondisclosure agreements if they want more detailed information.

Palantir did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

For roughly the first 40 minutes of the conversation, Karp failed to answer questions about the company’s contracts with ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that had surfaced in internal chats weeks before. Instead, Karp focused on Palantir’s role in building and maintaining Western power—a topic he frequently addresses in public-facing interviews and in his latest book, The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Faith, and the Future of the West.

At the end of the video, Karp turned his attention to immigration enforcement, saying that Palantir does not have a policy that “is different depending on the president,” and that Democrats have also prioritized these issues under previous administrations. Karp specifically cited former president Barack Obama, who said the US is a “nation of immigrants” and a “nation of laws” in an address in 2014. Karp also argued that institutions planning to break laws would not buy Palantir’s products, claiming that the products’ technical capabilities make it difficult to hide flaws.

While Karp declined to go into more detail about what products Palantir is providing to enable ICE, he offered workers the ability to sign NDAs to receive one-on-one briefings. At the end of the email linking to this conversation, Bowman said the video is just the beginning of the company becoming more forthcoming in its work with ICE. Bowman did not share what additional information workers can expect in the future, but he said the Karp video is a “step forward, not a completion” of Palantir leadership’s discussions of its work at ICE with staff.

The video is finished weeks of internal pressure from workers. Shortly after federal agents shot and killed Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti last month, workers flooded Palantir’s internal Slack questioning the company’s role in the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement, how the products it provides work in tandem with ICE’s goals, and whether the company should be involved with the agency. A prerecorded conversation with Karp provides some insight into their questions.

In internal Slack conversations reviewed by WIRED in Januaryworkers complain of a lack of transparency on how the product most of them are sold and is built to enable ICE enforcement.
