Block..

 

 On Thursday night  Apple rep. said that it was removing apps from its App Store that can be used to anonymously report sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The move came after pressure on Apple from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The FBI said last week that a gunman who killed two detained immigrants and wounded a third detainee at an ICE facility in Dallas had recently searched apps tracking the presence of ICE agents.

“We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place to discover apps,” Apple said in a statement to NBC News on Thursday.

Based on information we’ve received from law enforcement about the safety risks associated with ICEBlock, we have removed it and similar apps from the App Store,” the company said.

Comment:

Wonder if an ICE tracker is helpful to anyone. It will create additional fear to those who are concerned.
