ICEBlock: app reports immigration agent sightings amid crackdowns by Trump administration
ICEBlock, an app that allows people to report sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, has been downloaded about one million times and has become the bane of US President Donald Trump's administration. While the app continues to gain popularity, Mr Trump has increased funding for ICE, whose mandate includes detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants. Critics say the agents arrest and deport people with little concern for their legal rights, including due process. 'When I saw what was happening in this country I knew I had to do something to fight back,' said ICEBlock app developer Joshua Aaron, who resides in Texas, a state with a large undocumented immigrant population. Mr Aaron, who is Jewish, told The National that he had decided to create the app after meeting Holocaust survivors and learning all about Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Nazi Germany. The app aims to alert users to the presence of ICE officials in an 8km radius. It is powered by crowdsourced data, relying on people to report ICE agents wherever they might be. The app also allows for users to describe the vehicles ICE might be using and their attire. Once a sighting is reported, push notifications are sent to other users nearby. It is ranked in the top 20 for downloads in the social networking section of Apple's App Store. The app is only available for iPhone. According to Mr Aaron, the privacy settings he deems necessary for ICEBlock are not yet possible on Android devices. Mr Aaron acknowledges criticism that the software could be misused, as the Trump administration has claimed violence against ICE agents is on the rise. 'Please note that the use of this app is for information and notification purposes only,' reads a disclaimer appearing throughout ICEBlock, with an added warning that the app should not be used 'for the purposes of inciting violence or interfering with law enforcement'. Despite the disclaimers, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has suggested that those promoting the app should face prosecution. 'We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them because what they're doing is actually encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activity operations,' she recently told a reporter. As for Mr Aaron, US Attorney General Pam Bondi recently told Fox News that the Justice Department was 'looking into him'. 'He is giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are and he cannot do that,' she said, adding that Mr Aaron should 'watch out' and claiming that his app did not fall into the category of protected speech. Various legal precedents, however, have tended to protect those who report the potentially illegal actions of law enforcement. But Timothy Kneeland, a professor of history, politics and law at Nazareth University in upstate New York, said that the Trump White House could pursue several legal avenues that might create problems for the app. 'The government could invoke national security issues because ICE might be trying to apprehend a suspected terrorist,' he told The National, also acknowledging that many legal arguments could be made to defend the app, such as the right against self-incrimination. He also said the government might pursue the angle that ICEBlock enables obstruction of justice, which has led to jail time in the past. The developer, however, disagreed with how some are interpreting his software. 'This app is to inform not obstruct,' said Mr Aaron. 'They can continue to demonise me and the app all they want, but nothing about it is illegal.' He added that if ICE officials are abiding by the US Constitution in how they go about their work, there should be no reason for the White House to fear people knowing their whereabouts. Mr Aaron also accused ICE of having complete disregard for individual circumstances with their arrests, referring to college students being targeted for their decision to protest, mothers being separated from their children, or detainees not being given access to legal representation. 'That is not something I can abide and is the reason ICEBlock was created,' he continued, referring back to the rise of Hitler in Nazi Germany. 'We are literally watching history repeat itself.'

Trump's war with Federal Reserve nears breaking point
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday denied reports he intends to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as the White House escalates its attacks on the central bank. After US media reported the President indicated he was open to dismissing the Fed chairman, Mr Trump confirmed he had met Republicans from the House of Representatives during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. 'I talked about the concept of firing him. I said, 'what do you think?' Almost every one of them said I should, but I'm more conservative,' he said before a meeting with Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. When asked if he would rule out the idea, Mr Trump said: 'I don't rule out anything but I think it's highly unlikely unless he has to leave for fraud.' Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee were expected to meet Mr Powell on Wednesday night, Semafor reported. Mr Trump has launched an unrelenting campaign to pressure Mr Powell to lower interest rates, which the President wants to help service the nation's debt in a concept known as 'fiscal dominance'. On Wednesday, he again said the Fed's current target rate of 4.25 per cent to 4.50 per cent should be three points lower. Under the Federal Reserve Act, a president can remove a Federal Reserve official only 'for cause'. This means the White House must show a Fed official or its chairperson had committed an act of malfeasance or neglect of duty. A recent Supreme Court ruling upheld the notion that legal reasoning the White House has been used to fire officials at other independent federal agencies does not apply to the Fed. But the White House in recent weeks has launched a new phase of attack on the Federal Reserve, accusing Mr Powell of mismanaging the central bank given the ballooning renovation costs of its headquarters. Asked if Mr Powell should be investigated, Mr Trump said: 'Well, I think he's already under investigation. He spent far more money than he was supposed to rebuilding.' Some Trump officials, including National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett, said Mr Powell could be fired over the renovation project. When asked on Tuesday if the renovation issue was a sackable offence, Mr Trump said: 'I think it sort of is.' Mr Powell, whose term as Fed chairman expires next May, has asked the Fed's inspector general to review the renovation project. The Fed chairman has remained adamant that the President has no authority to fire him. In November, Mr Powell said such a move is 'not permitted under the law'. Mr Trump's pressure campaign comes as the central bank has extended its pause on interest rates as it braces for tariff-related inflation. A Labour Department report on Tuesday showed inflation accelerate in line with expectations last month. Underlying numbers in the report showed rising prices in goods such as household appliances and clothing are showing that tariffs are being passed on to consumers. Most Fed officials suggest they are still waiting further clarity before cutting interest rates, meaning they are likely to continue their rate-cut pause when they meet later this month.
