ICEBlock, an iPhone app designed for anonymously reporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent sightings, has soared to one of the top spots in Apple’s U.S. App Store rankings, fueled by controversy sparked by the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ’s remarks. The app, which allows users to share and receive real-time alerts about ICE sightings within a 5-mile radius while maintaining anonymity, gained traction overnight after Bondi criticized it recently.
According to ICEBlock's developer Joshua Aaron , he made the app to counter the Trump administration’s deportation policies, which Aaron compares to Nazi Germany. The app has found a strong user base in Los Angeles, where approximately 20,000 users have reported frequent ICE raids in recent weeks, according to CNN.
What ICEBlock app description says
Stay informed about reported ICE sightings, within a 5 miles radius of your current location, in real-time while maintaining your privacy. ICEBlock is a community-driven app that allows you to share and discover location-based reports without revealing any personal data.
Attorney General Pam Bondi warns ICEBlock app's developer
Speaking on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Bondi accused the app of potentially endangering law enforcement officers and slammed CNN for “promoting” it, stating, “Shame on them.” By Tuesday afternoon, ICEBlock had become one of the most downloaded free iPhone apps in the U.S.
The app’s description emphasizes its community-driven approach: “Stay informed about reported ICE sightings, within a 5 miles radius of your current location, in real-time while maintaining your privacy. ICEBlock allows you to share and discover location-based reports without revealing any personal data.” However, the app has drawn sharp criticism from law enforcement advocates. Border Czar Tom Homan, speaking on “The Will Cain Show,” called ICEBlock “disgusting,” arguing it makes law enforcement’s job more dangerous. “Any network that covers that is disgusting as well,” Homan added. As ICEBlock’s popularity surges, the debate over its impact on public safety and immigration enforcement continues to intensify.
