Given Miller's involvement in Immigration and Customs Enforcement, his financial stake in Palantir should raise significant concerns over potential conflicts of interest. Should he direct an update of DHS's digital systems, Palantir could stand as a likely beneficiary.

Virginia Canter, chief counsel for ethics and anti-corruption at Democracy Defenders Fund, told POGO that Miller was walking a thin line. "If he hasn't stepped over the line, he's just on the verge of it," Canter said.

"I just don't think anybody would be comfortable with him keeping this stock," she added.

Trump's immigration crackdown is already sure to line the pockets of many surveillance and private prison companies"now it might make one of his closest advisers a pretty penny, too.
