The Trump administration’s escalating immigration crackdown has come with a long succession of eyewitness accounts and video documentation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using pointedly aggressive tactics in communities across the country. This highly public display of government force against civilians has prompted widespread pushback, including in the form of smartphone apps meant to alert users of nearby ICE activity.
Following Apple’s takedown of one of those apps, the iOS-exclusive ICEBlock, 404 Media reports that a similar app called Red Dot has been removed from both the iOS App Store as well as the Google Play Store. A Google spokesperson tells Android Authority that Red Dot was removed because it violates Play Store policy.
