CNN Promotes ‘ICEBlock’ app That Relies on Crowdsourcing Data to Report ICE Raids

You heard that right; an app that blatantly aids illegal aliens to evade ICE agents and deportations.

Coming in at #16 in social networking in the App Store, ICEBlock touts 20,000 users with an ability to stay informed of ICE sightings in any given area, within a 5 miles radius of your location. It comes in 13 different languages, besides English. It also puts ICE agents and their operations at great risk, considering some of these raids rely on an element of surprise to be effective. Personally, I’m shocked that both Apple and Google haven’t deplatformed this app for aiding criminal illegal aliens.

Meet Joshua Aaron, an Israeli-American who created the ICEBlock app. He is a musician and developer who currently resides near the Sea of Galilee, in Israel. For someone who doesn’t even live in the United States, he seems to have developed very strong feelings about helping illegal aliens evade our law enforcement officers. He doesn’t seem to have any qualms about the risk to our ICE agents being exposed before conducting their raids, either. He pulled a Jake Tapper and compared Trump’s ICE raids to Nazi Germany. 🙄I am hoping to see some intervention from law enforcement; the FBI, our Department of Justice and also the State Department to find out why this app hasn’t been taken down. It’s quite worrisome that while he does have American citizenship, he doesn’t even live here and has no plans of ever living here, with his wife and 5 children. Because of his lack of residency in the United States, this feels like foreign interference or sabotage that deserves a closer look. While Israel is our ally, it doesn’t excuse the criminal actions of individual dual citizens with American - Israeli citizenship, who intentionally break American laws; especially individuals wreaking havoc from afar who reside on another continent, that don’t have to live with the consequences of their actions for helping criminals evade law enforcement.

To make matters worse, CNN has already given the app more exposure. CNN’s Clare Duffy speaks with Joshua Aaron on air for a free plug on his app that was first released in April. In my view, this was irresponsible of CNN, knowing that airing a piece like this would only make the crowdsourcing more plentiful, while they generate more downloads and gain more users who report more data. Aaron claims the app wasn’t designed to ‘obstruct justice’. This begs the question; If your app helps illegal aliens evade ICE agents, who really cares what your intention was? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am only writing about this app because I want to let people know one of the reasons our ICE agents are being exposed in the field. This app is designed to expose their locations, track law enforcement activities and aid criminals in their evasion efforts in order to stay in the country. Take it down Apple and Google; you know this isn’t right!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts in the comments! ✌️
