On Thursday, Apple removed ICEBlock, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tracking tool, from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised concerns about the app endangering law enforcement officers’ safety.
“We reached out to Apple today demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store — and Apple did so,” Bondi said.
“ICEBlock is designed to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs, and violence against law enforcement is an intolerable red line that cannot be crossed.
Authorities said the suspect, Joshua Jahn, searched his phone for tracking apps, including ICEBlock, before opening fire on the facility from a rooftop.
Authorities said Jahn killed one detainee and left two critically injured but that the immigrants were not his intended targets.
