Apple removed ICEBlock, which is an app for anonymously reporting sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, from the App Store on Thursday, according to reports.
The move comes after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi urged Apple to take down the tracking app a day prior.
We reached out to Apple today demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store — and Apple did so,” Bondi said in a statement obtained by Fox Business News. “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. This Department of Justice will continue making every effort to protect our brave federal law enforcement officers, who risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe.”
Business Insider confirmed Apple said it also removed “similar apps” from the App Store.
