Stealing shamelessly from another comment, Stop Ice is a website version that should be a little more secure due to not being an app on your phone.
Fascists are stupid, but lots of sociopathic opportunists aren’t.
Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it

It’s like the trump admin has never heard of the Streisand effect. Hopefully the developer lives outside of US jurisdiction and the service doesn’t get taken down for a while.

stopice.net? Yeah that looks like much safer alternative to iceblock

The problem with phone apps is that they already have access to personally identifiable information.
I would much prefer this was a mobile friendly website.

It's not on Android because they couldn't do it without collecting some info. Seems like mobile-first web site would have been the obvious choice.

I learned that somebody already did such thing: stopice.net and it existed before this app even.

Everyone who downloads this app will be shortlisted for the gulags. Big tech is working hand in hand with fascism.

I think it might be simpler.
All the app could do is to report location of the user to ICE.
While people might be interested to show up to ICE raids, immigrants might also want it to know places to say away from.
Since the app is on the phone the location can be tied to the phone number and since they are going after documented immigrants they might have phone numbers from their applications.
I think this should be a mobile website instead of an app is the goal was privacy.
