ICE tracking apps put ICE agents in danger, and the same kind of app for, say, tracking Meta employees or “people who wear Team Blue T-shirts” or any other group would obviously be a danger as well. How on earth do people find this controversial..?
Is turnabout no longer fair play, then?

It’s unconstitutional to raid an entire apartment building and force everyone out as they search for potential “illegals” to take away without due process. We are far beyond a couple an individual cases, it’s become the norm. Stay at home orders for health reasons are constitutional. Also, in countries that had stricter rules far fewer people died. When bringing comparisons to a discussion… check if you’re right, and…

It appears you are stating as fact that it's A-OK and constitutional to force every resident of Utah from their home in a search for rumored "illegals".

I agree with you, but can we stop calling installing software on the hardware you own "sideloading"?
It's called "sideloading" because you're sneakily installing software without the manufacturer's consent. Remember it's never your device, you just have permission to use it.
I don't see the problem. It was an app specifically developed to help people evade American law and attack people who work for the government, how is it a shock that they took it down?
Apple maps tells you when you are near a cop on the highway in order to evade the law.

You need to be careful, the word "incite" does not mean what you think it does here. Maybe the app enabled violence against law enforcement - but Waymo does that too by telling you where traffic cops are. Or Google Maps and Yellow Pages for documenting the location of police stations. Undercover officers, ICE or otherwise, aren't given any special exemptions to the law here.

Conversely, this and EU Chat Control are precisely why the powers that be will ensure it will happen. The importance of FOSS mobile OSes is greater than ever now.
Still waiting to see chatcontrol happen. Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t believe it will happen.

The previous president, Juncker, was the premier who made Luxembourg a taxhaven. Nowadays buying from Amazon in Europe you still get a purchase receipt from Amazon Luxembourg...

They need a warrant for each place of residence (each apartment), they did not have that.

ICE puts people in danger and disregards their due process. When a group is performing unconstitutional activities they should be tracked and stopped where possible.

There are also people who are citizens or are allowed to be there but are taken away regardless (you know, without due process).
