BREAKING: Haley Stevens Shared Key Campaign Spokesperson With ICE Contractor Palantir

MICHIGAN – Today, new reporting from Drop Site News revealed that key Haley Stevens strategist and spokesperson, Caitlin Legacki, was simultaneously consulting for prominent ICE contractor, Palantir. Founded by major Trump backer Peter Thiel, Palantir famously developed the software used by ICE to track, detain, and deport immigrants, as well as the technology powering Trump’s war in Iran.

“Congresswoman Stevens said she’ll stand up to ICE, all while she took talking points and advice from a compromised corporate apologist now revealed to be a key advisor in Trump’s deportation machine,” said El-Sayed spokesperson Roxie Richner. “Perhaps it’s why Stevens voted to thank and fund ICE.  Abdul has been clear and consistent on his stance since 2018: Abolish ICE.”

The Stevens campaign has previously faced controversy over taking thousands of dollarsfrom ICE contractors and their lobbyists. Since being in Congress, Rep. Stevens has consistently thanked, funded, and expanded the powers of ICE. Earlier this year, when visiting an ICE detention center in Baldwin, MI, Rep. Stevens praised female ICE guards, all while Legacki was advising her. 

Despite this, outside groups funded by AIPAC and corporations have spent tens of millions of dollars on ads attempting to convince Michigan primary voters that Stevens “stands up to ICE”.
