From the article The DOJ told Newsweek: "For several weeks, the Department of Justice inquired into this former employee's activities and discovered she has a sizable interest in All U Chart, Inc., the company that holds the IP for ICEBlock.

Two comments about this bunch of BS: 1. I would guess that ICE agent isn't even in the top 20 most dangerous occupations in the US. 2. If knowing the location of law enforcement endangers their lives, why do the great majority of law enforcement officers wear distinctive uniforms and drive around in clearly marked vehicles?

Identifying and catalog law enforcement actors are not threats. Certainly, they feel threatened by the threat of current or future accountability, but that is their feeling. https://www.rcfp.org/reporters-recording-sections/right-to-r... https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/stopped-by-police

#17Happy for her. She can retire early with an excellent settlement or get another job she is passionate about without worrying about money. It's pretty despicable, but I think in the end it will turn out for the better.

#18In addition to the obvious problems of the US government illegally firing one family-member solely to punish a different family-member's constitutionally-protected free-speech... I'd also highlight these aren't even the same part of the federal government. ICE is under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whereas she is/was employed as a forensic accountant at the Department of Justice (DOJ). To make an throw-b…
"discovered she has a sizable interest in All U Chart, Inc., the company that holds the IP for ICEBlock"
I'm not sure what hen's employee contract reads.
There are some limitations on US government employees engaging in political action though (Hatch act).
Perhaps hen sent a text relating to All U during work hours?

#19 - ICEBlock is an app that illegal aliens use to evade capture
- while endangering the lives of ICE officers
- by disclosing their location.
- This DOJ will not tolerate threats against law enforcement
or law enforcement officers."
Reality speak: - ICEBlock is an app used by citizens who reasonably want to
1) be aware of what their government does
2) provide the only known oversight of ICE agents
3) avoid areas where risky, hostile militaristic patrols operate
- The DOJ will not tolerate citizen empowerment that it does not
expressly approve of.
- This DOJ will disingenuously reframe any attempt at oversight
of LEO as "a threat to law enforcement officers" and will freely
deploy government resources as revenge against those citizens.Re: Wife of ICEBlock app founder speaks out after DOJ fires her
