The AI Enhanced ICE Tip Processing service is intended to help ICE investigators “to more quickly identify and action tips” for urgent cases, as well as translate submissions not made in English, according to the inventory. The “2025 DHS AI Use Case Inventory,” published Wednesday on DHS’s website, has been published for every year since 2022. The 2024 version of the inventory does not mention using AI to process tip line submissions. Until now, however, almost nothing has been known about Palantir’s work processing tips for ICE. However, the “AI Enhanced ICE Tip Processing” tool may be an update to the “FALCON Tipline,” which replaced ICE’s previous tip-processing system around 2012.
