Apple pulls US immigration official tracking apps

Apple has pulled apps that let users flag sightings of officers from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The tech giant told the BBC it had removed ICEBlock from its App Store after law enforcement made it aware of "safety risks" associated with it and "similar apps".

According to a statement sent to Fox News Digital, US Attorney General Pam Bondi had "demanded" the app's removal saying it was "designed to put ICE officers at risk".

The app's creator said such claims were "patently false" and accused Apple of "capitulating to an authoritarian regime."
