Time covers ICEBlock with a really deceptive title:
The only person in the story how hates it is Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. You know Todd, he's the guy who defends having all of his agents wear masks, and who is fearmongering -- without presenting the slightest amount of evidence that ICE agents' children are now being targeted. (One reason for doubting this story is that WJBC, which first ran with it, has abruptly taken the post down.
At any rate, the ICEBlock app is available through the Apple App Store. There is no Android version because the app is intentionally designed NOT to collect or save identifying user data, and you apparently can't do that on android:
Here's what the app does:
ICEBlock allows its users—of which there are over 30,000, according to the app's developer—to upload sightings of ICE activity. They can pinpoint the location on a map, and offer additional information about what they witnessed. Other users, within a five-mile radius, should then receive a push alert notifying them of the sighting. “See something, tap something,” ICEBlock's slogan instructs.
And here are the screenshots from the Apple App Store:
People are no longer passively accepting the idea that we have to give in to the new federal secret police without resisting. Consider, if you have not already heard about it, the new ICE Agents list that I wrote about yesterday at the Facebook version of American Samizdat.
Screenshots from that ICE Agents list from The Daily Crustian in its last incarnation before DHS pressured their internet service provider into taking it down can be found here: https://archive.ph/icelist.infoNOTE: The experience of people using this link is that it will not connect by just clicking on it. Most people can probably access it by pasting it into your browser. For those who cannot, all the pages are screenshotted below.Below are the screenshots. They are NOT as good as the original list because -- as you will see -- some of the photos cut off the heads when they displayed them online but showed the full picture when you copied and pasted them. You can't do that here.But it does retain all the names and links (though at least half of them are dead now since DHS has obviously been having officers clean up their past histories).This is a completely legal listing to publish: ALL of the photos and links are from publicly available sources. No addresses, family member names, or other material that could be used for doxing are included.So, as imperfect as this list is in this incarnation, it was an act of political courage and resistance to publish it in the first place. I know the Crustian staff has said they are working to get a new version back online, but until they do, it is also an act of resistance to keep DHS from being able to eliminate this information from the net.PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE IMAGES and SHARE THEM in many ways -- via email, on social media, by printing them out in hard copy.AND IF YOU HAVE PICTURES OR INFORMATION ABOUT ADDITIONAL ICE AGENTS, then be sure to stockpile it for when the Crustian gets back online.In the meantime, visit the Crustian Daily so they know their work is being appreciated, and consider supporting them with a few bucks so that they can keep on doing. https://crustiandaily.com/Huh, there's a knock at my door, wonder what the fuck that could be?
And here are those images of the ICE Agent pages that DHS is trying to suppress:
