ICEBlock is an iPhone app that allows users to report sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) movements. Created by Joshua Aaron, the app has gained a user base of 20,000, becoming especially popular in Los Angeles amid current ICE raids. Aaron developed the app in response to perceived overreach by ICE, comparing the situation to historical events in Nazi Germany. In retaliation, the Trump administration has threatened legal action against CNN for its coverage of the app, with Secretary Kristi Noem asserting that it obstructs law enforcement efforts and encouraging potential prosecution.
The new iPhone app ICEBlock allows users to report the location of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, amassing a community of 20,000 users.
Joshua Aaron, the app's creator, expressed that the ICE raids reminiscent of Nazi Germany inspired him to create ICEBlock as a means to fight back.
The Trump administration has reacted strongly, with Secretary Kristi Noem claiming the app encourages people to avoid law enforcement operations and threatening legal action.
ICEBlock is only available on iOS due to concerns about data collection risks on Android, ensuring user protection while reporting ICE activities.
