We just received a response from Apple's legal dept letting us know that the app has been removed from all territories and no longer appears on the App Store.

Very cool!

Anyone who already has ICEBlock installed may continue to use it. Nothing has changed on that end. However, do not delete it from your device nor erase your iPhone as that would cause you to lose access as it is no longer available on the App Store.

No it is not

ICEBlock is designed as an early warning system not as a map of reported ICE sightings across the country. As such, a 5 mile radius is already a huge area to list any reported sightings. As you move the sightings list updates.

If you want to see sightings elsewhere just unlock the map.

We welcome anyone to verify that we are 💯 anonymous. Not only do we not store any user identifiable data, it literally never leaves your device. ICEBlock is security focused and safe for everyone to use. That is the core design principle of the app.

far greater than most could imagine. Just because it’s possible to do something doesn’t mean you’ve considered the security or cost implications for doing so.

There’s a lot to think about and with over a million users every move is carefully considered.
