Hours following the Trump administration's demand to take down one popular iPhone app, ICEBlock, which flags sightings of U.S. immigration agents, Apple and Google have blocked downloads of other applications that track U.S. immigration agents, Associated Press reported on Saturday.

Users and developers defended access to the app, saying it is within their First Amendment right to track ICE activity in their neighbourhoods. They added that most users rely on these platforms to protect their own safety as President Donald Trump ramps up aggressive immigration enforcement. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, however, said such tracking puts ICE officers at risk.
