In March, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the federal government to share data across agencies<\/a>, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has not publicly talked about the effort since. But behind the scenes, officials have quietly put technological building blocks into place to enable his plan. In particular, they have turned to one company: Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has expanded Palantir\u2019s work across the federal government in recent months. The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since Mr. Trump took office, according to public records, including additional funds from existing contracts as well as new contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. (This does not include a $795 million contract that the Department of Defense awarded the company last week, which has not been spent.)<\/p>\n

Representatives of Palantir are also speaking to at least two other agencies \u2014 the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service \u2014 about buying its technology, according to six government officials and Palantir employees with knowledge of the discussions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The push has put a key Palantir product called Foundry into at least four federal agencies, including D.H.S. and the Health and Human Services Department. Widely adopting Foundry, which organizes and analyzes data, paves the way for Mr. Trump to easily merge information from different agencies, the government officials said.<\/p>\n

Creating detailed portraits of Americans based on government data is not just a pipe dream. The Trump administration has already sought access<\/a> to hundreds of data points on citizens and others through government databases, including their bank account numbers, the amount of their student debt, their medical claims and any disability status.<\/p>\n
