I 100% believe there are roads out of this, that we all need to do whatever we can in the places we can.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJ’s commitment to protecting federal officers.

The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social for this concise, important message.
