Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson discusses dangers posed by ICE tracking apps.
FIRST ON FOX: Apple dropped ICEBlock, a widely used tracking tool, from its App Store Thursday after the Department of Justice raised concerns with the big tech giant that the app put law enforcement officers at risk.
Could US government ban apps which track ICE agents?
The US government and law enforcement agencies have hit out at developers and users of apps which track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing they threaten the lives of agents.
The FBI says the man who targeted an ICE facility in Dallas – killing two detainees – had used these types of apps to track the movements of agents and their vehicles.
A tracking app downloaded more than a million times that shows the movements of immigration officers was removed from Apple's App Store on Thursday.
ICE Block was released in April following the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. The creator of the app told the BBC that Apple was "capitulating to an authoritarian regime".

Apple removes ICE tracking apps after Trump AG pressure
Apple on Thursday night said that it was removing ICEBlock and other apps from its App Store that can be used to anonymously report sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
The move came after pressure on Apple from Attorney General Pam Bondi, and amid controversy over the Trump administration's aggressive enforcement of immigration law with ICE agents and other authorities.
The FBI said last week that a gunman whose attack on a Dallas ICE facility led to the deaths of two detained immigrants and the wounding of a third detainee had recently searched apps tracking the presence of ICE agents.
