White House Border Czar Tom Homan on Monday condemned CNN for promoting an app that allows users to track ICE agents, urging the Justice Department to launch an investigation into the app.
Called ICEBlock, the app lets users report the locations of ICE agents in real time. The Daily Wire highlighted both the app and CNN’s on-air promotion of it to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
On Monday, Homan said the app was “simply disgusting,” saying “any network that covers that is disgusting as well.”
“It’s only a matter of time before ICE officers are going to be ambushed by some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing a Molotov cocktail, throwing bricks at these officers,” Homan said. “This is just disgusting at every level, so I hope DOJ dives in this deeply, because ICE is concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats.”
CNN’s Clare Duffy highlighted the app Monday morning, saying that the app developer “says he does not want people interfering with those officers’ activity, but he does want people to be able to avoid them altogether if they want.”
