# San Francisco Nurses Protest Palantir Contracts

Nurses rallied in San Francisco against Palantir’s work for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including the ELITE app, which the article says was developed in 2026 to help locate people targeted for deportation and uses government health data. The protest also highlights Palantir’s commercial relationships with HCA, which uses its software for hospital operations, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), whose Palantir relationship nurses plan to protest and urge the utility to end. No contract values, solicitation numbers, or procurement deadlines are identified.

- Public-sector buyers and contractors should account for the reputational and data-sharing scrutiny described in the article when assessing vendor relationships involving sensitive information.
- Healthcare and utility organizations using Palantir software may face pressure to review or end those relationships; the signal does not report that any contract has been terminated.
- Palantir and other contractors serving government and commercial clients should be prepared for scrutiny of data safeguards and potential customer-retention impacts.
