meta The agency on Tuesday removed a Facebook group page that was allegedly used to “track and target” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Chicago after being contacted by the Justice Department.
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Facebook’s takedown on the X-Post, saying the Justice Department “continues to work with tech companies to remove platforms where extremists can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.”
A spokesperson for Meta confirmed that the tech giant had removed the Facebook group page, but declined to comment on the scale or specific details justifying the removal.
“This group was removed for violating our policy against organized harm,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement, also noting the company’s policy on “promoting organized harm and crime.”
The removal of Meta’s Facebook group page follows similar moves by rivals including: apple and googlerecently removed an app that could be used to anonymously report sightings of ICE agents and other law enforcement agencies.
Apple removed the ICEBlock app nearly two weeks ago following pressure from Bondi, who said at the time that the app was “designed to put ICE officers at risk just by doing their jobs.”
Apple said in a statement at the time that it removed the ICEBlock app based on information provided by law enforcement about suspected “security risks.”
Google, which does not maintain the ICEBlock app in its app store, said in October that the company had removed “similar apps that violated our policies,” although the Justice Department had not contacted the search giant.
ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron criticized both Apple and the White House in an interview with CNBC, comparing his app to other apps like Waze, which allows drivers to report police officers they see to avoid speeding tickets.
“This is about fundamental constitutional rights in this country being taken away by this administration, and those in power bowing to their demands,” Aaron said.
