Joshua Aaron, the developer of the iPhone app ICEBlock, filed a federal lawsuit in Washington D.C. against Trump administration officials, alleging violations of his First Amendment rights.The suit claims officials coerced Apple into removing the app, which allowed users to anonymously report sightings of ICE agents, leading to its removal from the App Store last October.Aaron argues ICEBlock functions similarly to mapping apps like Waze, reporting publicly observable activity without allowing photos or videos, and seeks to prevent the government from coercing app distribution services or prosecuting him.
