Palantir CEO Alex Karp said he has been criticizing President Trump “in private” over his handling of immigration, according to a report by The Hill. The article, written by Mira Bhakta, is available at The Hill's report on Karp's immigration comments.
The Hill reported that Karp's criticism concerns the administration's handling of immigration and its detention of a record number of people throughout the summer. The summary of the report does not give the number of people detained, and it does not say which specific policies Karp objected to.
The Hill reported that Karp made the remarks in an interview with Adam Wren of Politico. In that interview, according to the summary, Karp said he was pleased to hear President Trump, in the president's own words, acknowledge that the administration had gone somewhat too far.
The attribution of the president's words rests on Karp's account as reported by The Hill. The summary does not cite a transcript or a public statement by the president, and it does not report whether the White House or the administration responded to Karp's comments.
The summary of The Hill's report ends mid-passage, so the complete text of Karp's remarks is not available in the material used for this account. The Hill's report is the only source for these details, and the facts described here have not been independently confirmed.
