Apple Pulls ICE-Tracking App After DOJ Pressure Following Dallas ICE Shooting

Apple removed ICEBlock and similar ICE-tracking apps from the App Store after Attorney General Pam Bondi and law enforcement flagged safety risks in the wake of the Dallas ICE shooting. Apple cited information from law enforcement as the reason for removal; the developer defended the app’s anonymity and safeguards. The move highlights fast-moving coordination between DOJ requests and platform moderation with implications for officer safety, civil liberties, and future anti-ICE tools.
