Free speech and treason are two different things. Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday, December 8. 2025 ran this headline, “Creator Of Anti-ICE App Runs To Court After App Removed From Apple Store.”
The man behind a viral app that tracks deportation officers is accusing the Trump administration of violating his free speech rights after Apple removed the app from its store.
Joshua Aaron, the liberal activist who launched ICEBlock earlier this year, filed a lawsuit against several top administration officials in federal court on Monday, according to court documents. Aaron, who has publicly praised Antifa in the past and likened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to Nazis, is claiming the White House unconstitutionally suppressed his free speech rights when it successfully coerced Apple into removing ICEBlock from its App Store in October.
“This lawsuit challenges these government officials’ unconstitutional threats and demands against Apple, which pressured it to remove the ICEBlock app from the App Store,” the lawsuit states. “In particular, Attorney General Bondi’s coercion of Apple has censored Aaron and ALL U Chart, Inc., which owns ICEBlock’s intellectual property, by making ICEBlock — their speech— unavailable to the public.”
“For what appears to be the first time in Apple’s nearly fifty-year history, Apple removed a U.S.-based app in response to the U.S. government’s demands,” the lawsuit continues.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this Apple App. but anyone trying to put ICE Agents lives in danger belong in prison.” said Thomas Robb the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan centrally based in Harrison, Arkansas. “ICE agents are ridding America of illegal, non-white criminals. I don’t know how anyone could be against that. I saw today that New York City’s Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani made a video telling illegals their ‘rights’ and to use them against ICE agents. Illegals are not citizens of the United States, therefore they have no rights here. Why is this so hard for some people to figure out? In my opinion, anyone that supports and tries to hinder the arrest of these illegal criminals should be charged with treason and put in prison for the rest of their lives. Some people will call me crazy for saying that, but the definition of treason is a crime of betraying one’s country, by waging war against it or giving aid and comfort to its enemies. This is how it is defined in the Constitution. Someone is waging war against America by breaking our Constitution by trying to hinder ICE from doing their job. There job is to rid America of these deplorable illegal criminals and help make our streets safer. By giving ‘rights’ to non-citizens who have no rights here is definitely giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies, and that is exactly what these invaders and anyone helping them evade arrest are, America’s enemies.”
