    Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol

    (Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

      Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don’t feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.

      We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.

          It looks like Puente Arizona and the Phoenix Legal Action Network have one, but it might just be in the Phoenix area. 480-506-7437, more info here.

      Or make a fake app for the Play Store where all the reports go to /dev/null.

        Take real reports and replace it with randomly generated people to flood the ICE systems with false reports.

          Lmao this is the type of creativity the world needs. Shame about the circumstances requiring it, however
