Denver, COLocal News

During a town hall on May 27, U. S. Representative Jason Crow was confronted by protesters who condemned his ties to Palantir Technologies, which supplies technology to the Israel Defense Forces. The demonstration highlighted Crow's acceptance of over $54,000 in campaign donations from Palantir executives since 2021, raising concerns about human rights abuses in Gaza. Organized by local activist groups, the protest aimed to hold Crow accountable for his connections to a company involved in controversial surveillance practices with U.

S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Crow defended his actions, stating he works for Coloradans and promotes transparency in federal immigration detention oversight. The event also included U. S.

Senator Michael Bennet, who is campaigning for governor. Protesters called for Crow to divest from Palantir, asserting that his financial ties compromise his commitment to justice and humanity.
