"Concepcion is behind a number of mobile apps designed to counter ICE activities. He started with an app to teach immigrants how to exercise their constitutional rights when approached by ICE agents."
"Concepcion did most of his vibe coding between midnight and dawn while parked outside a Home Depot in his electric F-150 pickup, listening to endless repeats of songs from 'Hamilton' as he worked."
"Eventually, Concepcion realized that simply educating immigrants of their rights wasn't going to help much if ICE agents rounded them up unconstitutionally anyway."
"Instead, he wanted to vibe code a tool that could 'stop these people from falling off a cliff, stop these people from disappearing.'"
Rafael Concepcion, a former professor, utilizes AI coding tools to develop mobile apps aimed at countering ICE activities. His first app educates immigrants on their constitutional rights when approached by ICE agents. Concepcion works late at night outside a Home Depot, connecting with day laborers. He recognizes that merely educating immigrants is insufficient, leading him to create tools that actively prevent unlawful detentions. His mission comes at a personal cost, including the loss of his university job, as he seeks to protect vulnerable communities.
