Law ICE tracking app

[tymikeson]

No...not to track glacier movement......

but the tracking of ICE agents around America to give illegal immigrants a heads up.

"The iPhone-only app serves as a digital "early warning system," allowing users to anonymously mark the location of suspected ICE activity on a map and share additional details, such as agent descriptions or vehicle types. Other users within a five-mile radius receive a push notification alerting them of the sighting. The apps slogan: See something, tap something."

love it


so far 30,000 users reporting ICE movement


Its called ICEBlock

These people could’ve just entered America legally and not have to live paranoid with an app sending them constant alerts.

Why didn’t they enter America through the legal channels with appropriate documentation?

Many did.

This is about rules that just arbitrarily changed.

Create an app that interferes with law enforcement and obstructs justice? Good idea. Don't ask for sympathy when you get arrested for it.

Trump is deporting people who did anyhow, so what does it matter?

Like those citizens Trump is now threatening to deport?

I have a friend who's family came from Peru. He is a a US citizen born and raised here in NJ. Years ago he over stayed his visa in Peru and was rounded up and deported. And there is nothing wrong with that. He was a guest and they removed him when he didn't leave when he was supposed to.

This app will cost us taxpayers money by making immigration enforcement more difficult and may end up getting ice agents killed.

Most legal immigrants I know hate illegals. They worked hard to be citizens and feel others should too.

Was your friend tackled, shackled, thrown in prison without due diligence before being deported? Was he sent to a ln alligator Alcatraz? Was he sent to a foreign country's prison?

Not sure why you think your anecdote adds anything to the topic. Nobody is saying illegal aliens shouldn't be deported. There is a police state in effect and now Trump is threatening to deport US citizens to boot.

Does Waze interfere with law enforcement by telling you where the speed traps are set?

Trump is openly opining about denaturalizing American citizens he doesn't like to deport them. lmao

That's not the quite the same thing as rounding up trackable visa overstays now is it?

That would mean people like your friend could be subject to deportation.

One of my old students who entered legally got nabbed yesterday apparently.

TBH I always wondered how this was allowed

Google maps has started doing it as well

Not to mention that there were more deportations under Obama than Trump

Obama was able to maintain due diligence and it cost less, and it was more effective.

There were cases that went to court about people physically notifying people of speed traps on the side of the road. Pretty it was ruled that they didn't interfere, so the apps would be fine.

If anything the app is encouraging you to follow traffic laws by keeping you aware of consequences

No, all it tells you is where a cop is parked. Nobody on the roads has committed an offense worthy of being pulled over until the officer sees a reason to. Not the same with ICE. They are actively seeking out people who have already broken the law.

It encourages people to follow the law in the same way the app encourages migrants to hide better

Much like how citizens can be informed where ICE agents are located so they can avoid being in a potentially high tension situation.

Waze notifies you of multiple types of abnormalities on your route while visually notifying you of your speeding.

This app, from my understanding, just let's you ping ICE agents locations. Which is legal

Either way, it is perfectly legal to tell people where you saw law enforcement. Regardless of what side of the issue you're on, you can't police people's ability to say "i saw some cops over there"
