The New York Times published an explosive report on the Trump administration's work with Palantir .

The report said that the federal government could create a master database with information on every American .

The company's technology would make it possible to compile sensitive information from agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement , and the Internal Revenue Service .

If this type of "master list" was created, it would give the president "untold surveillance power".
