Apple withdrew on Thursday from its application store several mobile applications used to anonymously inform the trips of the American Immigration Police (ICE), an institution in the heart of the massive expulsion policy directed by Donald Trump.
These requests had gained popularity in recent months as the expulsion campaign for illegal migrants of President Donald Trump intensified, finished by numerous arrests carried out by the ice.
On Thursday night, ICE location applications, including the popular iceblock, were inaccessible to AFP journalists in the application store. Requested by AFP, Apple did not comment immediately.
Deleted applications
The United States Attorney General Pam Bondi, told The Fox Business News Channel that the Ministry of Justice had “contacted Apple today to demand the withdrawal of the Iceblock application of his appthore, which Apple made” Thursday.
The Trump administration officials strongly criticized these applications, saying that they were endangering agents.
Last month, a shooting killed two detainees in an ice center in Texas. According to the authorities, who believe that the attack really addressed to ICE staff, the shooter had used this type of application in the previous days.
Anti -ite manifestations took place throughout the country. The Federal Immigration Police, the cornerstone of the massive expulsion policy desired by Donald Trump, carries out many muscle operations of migrant arrests throughout the country.
