House GOP requires probe on immigration raids of IceBlock Application Applications

First on Fox: A group of House Republicans requests an “immediate” investigation into an application that allows people to follow federal immigration actions in real time.

The president of the Small Business Committee of the Chamber, Roger Williams, R-Texas, and the representative Pat Fallon, R-Texas, declared that the Iceblock application “painted targets” on the back of immigration and customs agents (ICE) across the United States, and asked the Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek if the creators of the program violated the federal law.

“We are disturbed to learn that the developers of this application can encourage people to interfere and escape lawful ice operations designed to withdraw criminals from our streets. Although the creators of this application claim to promote` `conscience ”, their actions actively undermine the integrity of our justice system,” said their letter to Bondi.

“The development and use of this application are not simply awareness of the neighborhood; it is a blatant interference with the operations of agencies which has the potential to endanger government agents and even cost them their lives.”

The memo was signed by five other room legislators: Randy Weber, R-Texas representatives; Michael Rulli, R-Ohio; Tom Tiffany, R-Wis.; Mark Alford, Ro., And Brad Finstad, R-minn.

This occurs while the serious repression of the Trump administration against illegal immigration continues to be a political flash point between the right and the left.

Democrats said the Trump administration uses questionable legal justifications to achieve the expulsion objectives of President Donald Trump, while the Republicans argue that the opposition of leftist officials equivalent to the stack of federal authorities.

The Iceblock application seems to be another offer to block the federal immigration authorities.

Iceblock is an application focused on the community which allows you to share and discover reports based on location without revealing personal data.”

Bondi herself warned the developer Joshua Aaron to “pay attention” in an appearance on “Hannity”.

Aaron said Los Angeles Magazine He created the application to “fight back” against what he saw as an increase in authoritarian tactics.

“Imagine that you are walking in the street, and a notification presents itself which says:” Ice spotted four blocks in front “… Instead of continuing on this path, you can turn left or turn around and avoid completely the situation,” he said at the exit.

The letter of the legislators said: “Ice operations are designed to eliminate the dangerous criminals of our streets. This application, labeled as an early alert system ”, deliberately alerts the public of the fate of ice agents, which gives individuals who are here illegally or who have a criminal time to hide or escape apprehension.”

“This application not only hinders the efforts of criminal apprehension, but also makes the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Security Mission to protect public security,” they wrote.

“Given the gravity of this question, we respectfully ask that the Ministry of Justice is starting an immediate investigation into the” block “and its promoters to determine whether it violates federal laws concerning the obstruction of justice and to help and encourage the fugitives,” they wrote.
