As Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to uphold immigration laws by arresting and deporting illegal immigrants nationwide, Monday Morning’s CNN’s New Central fouled a bizarre and dangerous app that is “designed to track ICE activity in real time,” thus putting lives in danger.
ICE officers already have difficult jobs and deserve the highest respect, but liberal tech bros seek to not only oppose protection policies but interfere with ICE’s operations. Joshua Aaron, who is the tech designer for the app, “ICEBlock” spoke to CNN’s business writer Clare Duffy, who described the app:
So, you open the app-it looks like a map-and users can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in their area. And then everybody who uses the platform within five miles of that sighting will get a push alert. This is a free iPhone app. It is anonymous. Aaron says he doesn’t collect any user data. And what I think is really interesting about this in this moment is we’ve seen so many of the biggest leaders in tech supporting President Trump. But Aaron is sort of an example of the fact that there are people within the tech industry who are really resistant to Trump’s policies.
