In the wake of rampant ICE abuse, ICE-tracking apps were developed to assist in community response to immigration enforcement. With @propertyofthepeople.org documents, we know ICE is investigating those apps and their use as domestic terrorism www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
ICE-Tracking Apps Have Helped People Avoid Immigration Agents. Are They Legal?
ICEBlock was meant to help people avoid immigration enforcement. The Trump Administration claims that the app endangered the agents of its mass-deportation campaign.

An ICE associate director claimed the Dallas shooter used ICE-tracking apps to target agents. But the attack was aimed at a government building with a known address. FOIA docs obtained by @propertyofthepeople.org show the FBI had no evidence of ICEBlock being used in any attack.

BIG: The case for Tren de Aragua being invading narco-terrorists, key to Trump's attacks on Venezuela and immigrant communities at home, is just another manufactured threat, as revealed in a trove of intel documents we provided to @dell.bsky.social / @wired.com. #FOIA www.wired.com/story/trump-...
This article is free to read and was coauthored by me and @rshapiro.bsky.social.
Trump claimed TdA had “thousands” of members in the US. But internal CBP records show when officials couldn’t support that figure with evidence, they resorted to statistical sleight of hand to reach a number more in line with the president's claim, which was 30x higher than what CBP could prove.
BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.
Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story
Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

“At its core, the war on antifa is a war on dissent, a war on free speech” -@rshapiro.bsky.social @propertyofthepeople.org. The docs “strongly suggest one of the primary functions of NSPM-7 is to serve as a vehicle for targeting anti-ICE organizing broadly as an anarchist violent extremist threat"
