Apple has removed the ICEBlock app, which informs users of the presence of ICE agents, from the App Store at the request of the Trump Administration.
ICEBlock, an app designed to inform users of reported sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents within a 5-mile radius, has been removed from the Apple App Store. The app rose to prominence during the immigration raids that took place in several cities earlier this year. Apple made the move to ban the app after being pressured by the US government.
The app’s developer addressed the issue on social media platform Blue Sky, saying that “we just received a message from Apple’s App Review that #ICEBlock has been removed from the App Store due to ‘objectionable content’.
