WASHINGTON — Stephen Miller, the influential Trump administration aide behind its hardline immigration policies, holds a substantial financial stake in Palantir Technologies — a key tech contractor for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — raising new ethics questions, according to a report published Tuesday by the Project on Government Oversight.

Miller, who served as President Donald Trump’s senior advisor on immigration and homeland security, disclosed owning between $100,001 and $250,000 of Palantir stock as of mid-March, according to financial disclosure forms obtained by the watchdog group. Ethics experts told POGO that Miller’s dual role crafting enforcement policy and investing in Palantir, which provides “mission-critical” data services for ICE, could amount to a troubling conflict of interest.

“Given Miller’s deep involvement in ICE policy and operations, this is more than just a bad look — it could easily become a serious ethics issue,” Don Fox, former acting head of the Office of Government Ethics, told POGO. “You don’t want to be in a position to say, ‘Mr. President, I can’t work on that because I have a conflict.’”
