White House Border Czar Tom Homan on Monday slammed CNN for promoting an app
that lets users track ICE agents, calling for the Justice Department to
investigate the app.
The app, called ICEBlock, tracks the locations of ICE agents, asking its
users to pinpoint where ICE agents are. Daily Wire White House correspondent
Mary Margaret Olohan brought the app � and the fact that CNN promoted it on
air � to the attention of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
�It sounds like this would be an incitement of further violence against our
ICE officers,� Leavitt said. �It�s unacceptable that a major network would
promote such an app that is encouraging violence against law enforcement
officers who are trying to keep our country safe.�

On Monday, Homan said the app was �simply disgusting,� saying �any network
that covers that is disgusting as well.�
�It�s only a matter of time before ICE officers are going to be ambushed by
some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing a Molotov cocktail, throwing
bricks at these officers,� Homan said. �This is just disgusting at every
level, so I hope DOJ dives in this deeply, because ICE is concentrating on
public safety threats and national security threats.�

CNN�s Clare Duffy highlighted the app Monday morning, saying that the app
developer �says he does not want people interfering with those officers�
activity, but he does want people to be able to avoid them altogether if they
want.�
�So you open the app � it looks like a map � and users can tap the map to
report an ICE sighting in their area. And then everybody who uses the
platform within five miles of that sighting will get a push alert,� Duffy
added.
�This shouldn�t be a partisan issue,� Homan said, noting that assaults on ICE
agents have climbed 500%. �This shouldn�t be an issue anybody is against.�
ICE agents, Homan said, are �already in a dangerous job going after the worst
of the worst.�
�These guys are putting their lives on the line every day going after the
worst of the worst, and a national security threat, and this app makes it
much more dangerous,� the border czar added. �It�s incredible that those who
enforce law, all of a sudden they�re the bad guys, the ones who break the
law, they�re victims. It�s disgusting.�
