DOJ Investigation Looms Over Removal of ICE Tracking Apps

The House Judiciary Committee is calling on the US Department of Justice to share all of its communications with Apple and Google about the removal of apps that tracked ICE agents. In October, several apps were taken down from both the App Store and Play Store, sparking concerns about censorship and coercion.

Representative Raskin reached out to Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing the removal of these apps as an attempt to silence critics and suppress evidence. The focus is on apps that monitor ICE activities, aiming to prevent any exposure of the Administration’s actions.

On a brighter note, the iPhone 17e is rumored to bring notable upgrades without a price increase. Additionally, HBO Max is making its way to the UK and Ireland, while SpaceX shifts its focus to building a Moon base before Mars.
