Foreign media: Apple Inc. announced on October 2, 2025, that it removed popular applications such as ICEBlock, which track the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from its app store at the request of the Trump administration.
This application could alert users to the presence of ICE personnel nearby, and was considered to increase the risk of attacks on U.S. law enforcement officers. The Trump administration has always regarded ICE as the core of its tough immigration policy, and ICE has repeatedly conducted raids and arrests against undocumented immigrants.
At the same time, this incident has also drawn further attention to the relationship between tech companies and the Trump administration, as well as concerns about possible violations of personal freedom by ICE enforcement actions.
