The lawsuit concerned itself with Eyes Up, an app that allowed users to post videos and details about ICE activity. However, in October 2025, Apple removed apps that performed similar actions, including ICEBlock, Red Dot, and Eyes Up.

At the time, the apps were told by Apple that it had received information from law enforcement for violations of the App Store guidelines. Specifically, guideline 1.1.1 prohibits defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content.

Another plaintiff of the lawsuit, the Facebook group “ICE Sightings - Chicagoland,” was disabled on October 14, with Facebook notifying that it went against community standards.

This occurred at the same time as then-U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted to social media about the matter. Bondi said that Facebook closed a large group used to dox ICE agents in Chicago after outreach from the Department of Justice.

    I have a nagging feeling that MAGA pundits overuse the term doxxing. Posting “ICE agents are on so-and-so street right now and here’s a picture” is NOT doxxing.

    edit: But even in the cases where the term applies I’m all for it. If the government doesn’t call muderers to justice, we need to step in.

      I’m of the mind that anyone funded by taxes shouldn’t need to hide their identities.

      Its not doxing to say that a this publicly funded person is committing a crime. Their identities should be public records and the crimes they commit should be investigated.

        Well they should be wearing (and showing) ID, for one.

        Generally I think it’s fair to leave officials’ private identities out of it - with the caveat of my previous comment.
