Defense technology firm Anduril Industries has formed a strategic partnership with German defense giant Rheinmetall to co-develop autonomous air systems and propulsion capabilities for the European market.
What Happened: Anduril Industries and Rheinmetall announced a collaboration to jointly develop three core defense systems for European deployment. 
The partnership focuses on integrating Anduril&#8217;s Barracuda low-cost autonomous air vehicle and Fury high-performance multi-mission aircraft into Rheinmetall&#8217;s digital sovereignty framework called &#8220;Battlesuite.&#8221; The companies will also explore solid rocket motor production for European defense applications using Anduril&#8217;s manufacturing approaches.
&#8220;This is a different model of defense collaboration, one built on shared production, operational relevance, and mutual respect for sovereignty,&#8221; said Brian Schimpf, CEO of Anduril Industries. Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger emphasized the focus on &#8220;autonomous capabilities that are quick to produce, modular, and aligned with NATO&#8217;s evolving requirements.&#8221;

Anduril Partners With Germany's Rheinmetall To Build Smart, Autonomous Air Systems And Rocket Motors For Europe's Defense Amid CEO Palmer Luckey's IPO Push

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) issued a rebuttal to Democratic lawmakers Monday, rejecting allegations of mass surveillance and comparing criticism to &#8220;collaboration with Nazi Germany and South Africa&#8217;s apartheid regime.&#8221;
What Happened: The data analytics company responded to a congressional letter triggered by a New York Times report claiming the Trump administration was using Palantir to compile American citizen data. 
&#8220;Palantir is not building a master database. Palantir is neither conducting nor enabling mass surveillance of American citizens,&#8221; the company stated, emphasizing its 20-year government partnership record.
Chad Wahlquist, Palantir&#8217;s Forward Deployed Architect, defended the company&#8217;s data practices on social media, highlighting the platform&#8217;s &#8220;transparent lineage&#8221; capabilities. He explained that Palantir&#8217;s software automatically captures data provenance and transformation records, creating auditable trails for every data interaction.
&#8220;Every time you build, secure, transform, combine, or action data, provenance and lineage are captured automatically,&#8221; Wahlquist wrote, comparing the process to journalism&#8217;s &#8220;5 W&#8217;s&#8221; principle.

Why It Matters: The congressional inquiry follows reports that federal agencies, including Health and Human Services and the Social Security Administration, use Palantir&#8217;s Foundry platform for data analysis.
Palantir emphasized its current military support role, stating &#8220;thousands of U.S. soldiers are relying on our platforms to protect America,&#8221; while software enables &#8220;lifesaving decisions at hospitals&#8221; and the CDC&#8217;s measles outbreak response.
The company&#8217;s defense comes as shares hit new all-time highs, climbing 452% over 12 months. Recent catalysts include a $795 million Defense Department <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955030/palantir-technologies-pltr-stock-hits-a-new-all-time-high-whats-going-on">contract and partnerships with companies</a> like Fedrigoni.

Looking At Palantir Technologies's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) are touting their defense credentials in a bid to secure more contracts in the development of President Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile defense system.
What Happened: "We clearly have a whole number of product lines that will contribute very well, that are going to fit very well with what is necessary to achieve the mission," said Tim Cahill, president of Missiles and Fire Control at Lockheed Martin, in a Reuters report published Monday.
The report outlines that Lockheed Martin already supplies key components that could be incorporated into the Golden Dome, including missile detection systems and other components.
Boeing, too, has signaled its involvement. Interim Defense and Space CEO Steve Parker noted that the aerospace giant has "done a lot of work" on the project, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Trump's Golden Dome project is being eyed by several key players in the defense space as well as in Silicon Valley. Companies like SpaceX, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44861620/spacex-palantir-frontrunners-in-bid-that-could-build-donald-trumps-golden-dome-report">emerged as frontrunners</a> for key projects in the initiative.
The project, which will reportedly cost over $175 billion, has also faced criticism from experts, who believe it could trigger a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45584539/donald-trumps-175-billion-golden-dome-could-trigger-a-new-space-arms-race-expert-warns-its-opening-a-pandoras-box">space-based weapons</a> arms race throughout the globe.
Xi Jinping's China has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45541866/xi-jinpings-china-wants-trump-to-immediately-drop-the-golden-dome-project-over-strong-offensive-implications-security-of-all-countries-should-not-be-compromised">expressed serious concerns </a>about the initiative, as officials from the CCP have urged the Trump administration to reconsider its decision to go ahead with the project.
Boeing is grappling with serious concerns about its aircraft's safety and quality following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45911791/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-b">fatal Air India crash</a> in Ahmedabad, which claimed over 241 lives last week. Boeing has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45940768/boeings-troubled-2000s-from-a-sweetheart-1-1b-deal-before-deadly-air-india-crash-to-stranding-astronauts-at-iss-and-airline-crashes">embroiled in controversy</a> over its aircraft in the past few years.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of June 16, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

As of January, the global nuclear arsenal has grown to 12,241 warheads, with Russia and the U.S. possessing nearly 90% of them. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) warns that a new arms race is looming, made more dangerous by rapid technological advancements such as AI.
What Happened:&nbsp;The SIPRI Yearbook 2025, <a href="https://www.sipri.org/media/press-release/2025/nuclear-risks-grow-new-arms-race-looms-new-sipri-yearbook-out-now">released </a>on Monday, revealed that the global nuclear warhead count has increased by 6% since 2020. The report also warns of the potential for a new nuclear arms race, fueled by technological advancements, which could lead to increased instability and risks.
Estimates indicate that Russia possessed approximately 5,459 nuclear warheads, the U.S. around 5,177 and China held about 600.
Shannon Kile, SIPRI&#8217;s Director of the Nuclear Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Program, stated, &#8220;The world is witnessing a new nuclear arms race, driven by a volatile mix of geopolitical, technological and military factors.&#8221;
The report emphasizes the swift advancement and integration of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cyber tools, space systems, missile defense, and quantum technologies, all of which are transforming nuclear capabilities, deterrence strategies and defense mechanisms. 
These developments may increase the exposure of nuclear arsenals to threats and raise the risk of nuclear conflict stemming from &#8220;miscommunication, misunderstanding or technical accidents.&#8221;
Dr.&nbsp;Dan Smith, SIPRI Director, emphasized the need for new arms control measures, stating, &#8220;The&nbsp;idea of who is ahead&nbsp;in the arms race will&nbsp;be even more elusive and&nbsp;intangible than it was last&nbsp;time round. In this context,&nbsp;the old largely numerical formulas&nbsp;of arms control will no&nbsp;longer suffice.&#8221;
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45942949/white-house-orders-scrutiny-of-spacex-contracts-even-as-trump-musk-relationship-warms-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">White House Orders Scrutiny Of SpaceX Contracts Even As Trump-Musk Relationship Warms: Report</a>
Why It Matters: The increasing nuclear warhead count and the potential for a new arms race are particularly concerning in the context of recent technological advancements in the defense sector. Companies like Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) have been at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45931685/palantirs-skyrocketing-500-gains-meet-israel-iran-sparks"> forefront of</a> providing AI tools to military and defense organizations, with its stock soaring over 500% in the past year, partly due to its strategic partnership with Israel&#8217;s Ministry of Defense.
Similarly,&nbsp;NATO adopted Palantir&#8217;s AI system&nbsp;for military operations in March. These developments, along with partnerships like the one between&nbsp;Lockheed Martin Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and&nbsp;Alphabet Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) to&nbsp;integrate Google&#8217;s AI into Lockheed Martin&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44533913/lockheed-martin-and-google-partner-to-advance-ai-in-defense">AI Factory ecosystem</a>, have significantly advanced the use of AI in defense and military operations. 
These technological advancements, combined with the increasing nuclear arsenal, raise concerns about the potential for a new, more unpredictable arms race, as highlighted by the SIPRI report.
On a year-to-date basis, Palantir stock surged 82.74%, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>

AI, Quantum Tech Could Heighten Nuclear Conflict Risk Through 'Miscommunication' And 'Technical Accidents,' Warns Think Tank

Palmer Luckey, the founder of defense technology startup&nbsp;Anduril Industries, has reportedly backed a cryptocurrency-friendly banking startup that aims to revolutionize the financial sector.
What Happened: Luckey is backing a budding&nbsp;financial firm that aims to&nbsp;provide &#8220;stability&#8221; to Silicon Valley,&nbsp;The New York Post&nbsp;<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/13/business/andurils-palmer-luckey-plots-erebor-digital-bank-startup-sources/">reported</a> on Friday, citing insiders. The firm&#8217;s main objective is to assist tech entrepreneurs in growing their businesses, rather than focusing on maximizing returns on deposits.
Luckey is said to be partnering on the bank startup with tech investor and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) co-founder Joe Lonsdale

The startup, currently named &#8220;Erebor,&#8221; is a reference to&nbsp;the mountain where the dragon&nbsp;Smaug keeps his gold in J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s 1937 novel &#8220;The Hobbit.&#8221; However, insiders have hinted that the name might not be final and could be subject to change.
In addition to cash, Erebor plans to accept deposits in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stablecoin">stablecoins</a>, a form of digital currency whose value is tethered to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. The project is in its early stages, and the plans have not been finalized, according to the report.
Benzinga didn&#8217;t immediately hear back from Anduril and Lonsdale's venture firm, 8VC, on the matter.
Why It Matters: This comes just days after Luckey confirmed plans for Anduril&#8217;s initial public offering. 
During an interview, Luckey emphasized that Anduril is being run <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/ipos/25/06/45877601/anduril-ceo-palmer-luckey-confirms-ipo-plans-to-compete-for-trillion-dollar-defense-contracts-we-are-definitely-going-to-be-a-publicly-traded">&#8220;to be the shape of a publicly traded company,</a>&#8221; highlighting the need for public status to compete for substantial defense contracts
The public listing plans come as Anduril <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reaches new valuation heights</a>. The company recently raised $2.5 billion in fresh capital, catapulting its valuation to $30.5 billion. According to Forbes, his net worth was <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/palmer-luckey/">estimated </a>to be $3.6 billion as of this writing.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey, Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale To Invest In Crypto-Friendly Startup Bank: Report

President Donald Trump is set to host <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45894541/trump-sports-president-military-birthday-parade">a large military parade </a>in Washington D.C. on Saturday, June 14, an event that coincides with his birthday. It turns out big technology companies could be helping to fund the event alongside taxpayers.
What Happened: Trump's parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday comes one year before a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45512795/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-donates-15-million-lends-rare-us-constitution-and-bill-of-rights-ahead-of-americas-250th-anniversary">planned semiquincentennial celebration</a> to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Both events are bringing in a large number of big, well-known companies to make donations to support the efforts, similar to the companies that donated to Trump's inauguration ceremony.
A <a href="https://www.theverge.com/policy/685690/big-tech-trump-military-parade-america250">report </a>from The Verge citing statements from organization planner America250 names Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Scott's Miracle-Gro Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMG#NYSE">SMG</a>), FedEx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) as companies that are sponsoring the America250 Foundation.
This congressionally appointed nonprofit is in charge of raising funds for the 250th anniversary next year and also logistics for the parade and festival this weekend.
"Many of these sponsors will support the upcoming grand military parade being held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, June 14th, to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th birthday," press <a href="https://america250.org/news/america250-announces-new-sponsors-championing-historic-celebrations-and-events-as-momentum-builds-for-the-countrys-250th-anniversary/">releases </a>from America250 read.
According to The Verge, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) was previously named a sponsor by America250 before its logo was removed from the sponsorship page. Meta offered a response to The Verge.
"While we are not currently a sponsor, we have had a historical relationship with America250, and we are actively exploring potential partnership opportunities with them in the future," a Meta spokesperson told The Verge.
Many of the companies chose not to respond to comment to The Verge in the report, but Lockheed Martin confirmed its sponsorship of America250.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The U.S. Army estimates that the cost of the parade this weekend will be between $25 million and $45 million. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll defended the costs to Congress as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill up our recruiting pipeline."
The parade is seen as a precursor to next year's celebration and will mainly celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Army. The parade also takes place on Trump's birthday, which has led many to believe that it will be a celebration of the current president.
Donations to America250 for next year's event are likely being used to help fund this weekend's parade based on the wording in press releases. The question is whether companies that are donating for next year's event are aware that their money is being used for both.
The report of donations from large companies follows a similar path to the large technology and cryptocurrency companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support">helped fund </a>Trump's inauguration. Some of the donations were made by companies that may have been looking to get favors or win political favor with Trump.
Companies helping fund the military parade and birthday celebration could be doing the same.

Big Tech Companies Helped Fund Trump's Inauguration, Now They Could Be Funding His Military, Birthday Parade

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares are trading higher Friday amid two overlapping developments that appear to be lifting investor interest in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45931068/missiles-and-firewalls-defense-stocks-surge-as-israel-iran-tensions-ignite">defense and intelligence-related equities.</a>
What To Know: Reports of Israeli strikes on Iran have triggered renewed concerns about regional instability. That, in turn, is pushing defense-related stocks higher. Palantir, whose software is widely used by U.S. military and intelligence agencies, is seen as potentially benefiting from any uptick in government spending on defense, intelligence analysis or security infrastructure <a href="https://www.palantir.com/assets/xrfr7uokpv1b/3MuEeA8MLbLDAyxixTsiIe/9e4a11a7fb058554a8a1e3cd83e31c09/C134184_finaleprint.pdf">according to Boomberg.</a>
Moreover, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly announced its intent to expand its use of blockchain surveillance tools to track cryptocurrency-related crimes. According to federal procurement filings, ICE plans to make further purchases from companies like TRM Labs and Chainalysis, two of the major providers of blockchain forensics software. 
Palantir has already been contracted by ICE earlier this year, signing a nearly $30 million deal to bolster the agency's digital enforcement tools. The timing of ICE's latest procurement efforts, alongside growing interest in blockchain analysis for law enforcement, is bringing renewed attention to Palantir's role as a key technology vendor in this space. 
PLTR Price Action: Palantir shares were up 1.77% at $137.58 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Palantir Shares Are Up Today: What's Going On?

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) is on fire &#8211; up a staggering 497% over the past year and up 85% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/news">so far in 2025</a>. From vaulting past the $100 mark in early 2025 to smashing a fresh all-time high above $137 in June, PLTR is more than a high-beta AI stock &#8211; it&#8217;s a geopolitical play wrapped in data analytics.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Sparks Fuel The Rally</h2>
The current Israel–Iran tension is actually benefitting investors in Palantir stock. Having formed a strategic partnership with Israel's Ministry of Defense, Palantir has been selling battlefield-grade AI tools since October. 
Reddit buzz sums it up:
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit">

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">"Palantir is heavily used by Israel… the use case for AI in warfare… is astounding," says a Redditor.
</blockquote>
Palantir's strategic role as a geopolitical hedge has only strengthened amid Middle East volatility—no surprise it's the S&amp;P 500's top performer this past quarter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defense Spending Winds At PLTR's Back</h2>
Back on home turf, Palantir just scored <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44792590/palantir-stock-jumps-9-after-nato-adopts-ai-system-for-military-ops">a massive win</a>: the Department of Defense boosted its contract ceiling for the Maven Smart System from $480 million to a whopping $1.275 billion &#8211; a potential $272 million in annual revenue. NATO's adoption of Maven added another ~5.6% boost to the stock on that news.
These wins suggest DOD and NATO see PLTR as mission-critical in AI-fueled defense modernization.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Momentum Meets Skepticism</h2>
Retail investors have piled in, helping propel PLTR to a breakout year in 2025.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0613"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="486" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13124449/Screenshot-2025-06-13-at-10.14.02-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-949459" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13124449/Screenshot-2025-06-13-at-10.14.02-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13124449/Screenshot-2025-06-13-at-10.14.02-PM-300x232.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Technicals confirm momentum: Trading above all simple moving average, PLTR stock sports an MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator of 5.52 and an RSI (relative strength index) of 64.63 and rising, backed by solid institutional buying.
But critics raise a caution flag. The valuation is eye-watering &#8211; with PLTR stock trading at 587.78x earnings. Even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">consensus analyst targets</a> suggest a 7.38% downside. Indeed, volatility remains high &#8211; Palantir's fortunes swing with geopolitical tremors and macro shocks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Question: Sustainability</h2>
Palantir stock&#8217;s 498% rally over the past year isn&#8217;t just a runway &#8211; it's a rocket fueled by government contracts, AI momentum, and geopolitical leverage. But sustaining this trajectory hinges on continued defense spending, deeper AI integration, and navigating valuation concerns.
For traders: This is high-beta territory. A strong catalyst &#8211; like another NATO contract &#8211; could send PLTR further skyrocketing. But a lull in global tension or profit-taking on valuation worries could bring sudden reversals.
For investors: The long-term story is compelling &#8211; AI, defense, and geopolitical resilience. But at these multiples, it's risk peppered with reward.
Palantir's on top now. With defense wins and Israel tie‑ins lighting the fuse, it's a vivid rally &#8211; but not without fireworks and volatility.

Recent federal procurement filings indicate that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is ramping up its use of blockchain analytics technology to bolster efforts against illegal activity involving cryptocurrency.
What Happened: ICE issued notices of intent to purchase additional investigative tools from TRM Labs and Chainalysis, according to <a href="https://fedscoop.com/ice-wants-more-blockchain-analytics-tech/">a</a> Fedscoop report.
These companies are among the leading providers of blockchain forensics software. The agency shared that it plans to sole-source from both companies due to a lack of feasible alternatives for their specialized services.
Additional purchases from Magnet Forensics and Volexity are also in the pipeline. These companies are already known vendors across federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI and IRS.

Why It Matters: Blockchain transactions are visible on public ledgers, but they often obscure user identities. As criminal organizations continue to adopt digital currencies to evade detection, analytics platforms are becoming crucial for tracing hidden financial trails.
According to TRM Labs' Ari Redbord, these tools are aiding agencies to track cryptocurrency use in terrorism financing, human trafficking and cross-border smuggling. He highlighted that their systems can trace transactions even when bad actors use complex tactics to disguise activity.
ICE is stepping up its implementation of advanced technology across a variety of domains. Earlier this year, it signed a $29.8 million contract with Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR), to enhance its immigration enforcement tools.
The agency is currently making headlines for triggering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45900294/trump-deploys-marines-to-la-with-authority-to-detain-civilians-california-challenges-military-involvement-in-immigration-enforcement">widespread protests</a> in Los Angeles against its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45854643/home-depot-targeted-in-immigration-raids-amid-la-protests-threatening-customer-traffic">targeted immigration raids</a>.
