Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that the app, called iceblock, encourages individuals to evade law enforcement operations and is being investigated for potential legal action with the Department of Justice&#8217;s involvement. president Trump supported the idea of prosecuting CNN,and other officials in his administration expressed their concerns about the dangers posed to law enforcement officers by such promotions. <\/p>\n<p>ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons criticized the app as reckless and hazardous, highlighting a notable rise in assaults against ICE personnel.The segment, which aired on CNN, was described as &#8220;sickening&#8221; by various administration officials, who believe that it could led to increased violence against law enforcement. the administration is calling for action against CNN for what they perceive as a violation of law and an obstruction of justice concerning the safety of federal officers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration could prosecute CNN for its recent promotion of an app that allows phone users to learn if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is active in their area, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>CNN recently did a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ice-chief-calls-cnn-willfully-endangering-officers-sickening-segment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">segment<\/a> promoting the ICEBlock app, which would alert anyone using the app that ICE is reportedly active near the user.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that because what they&rsquo;re doing is actively encouraging people to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-admin-working-to-prosecute-cnn-for-promoting-ice-tracker\/\" title=\"... admin working to ... for promoting ... tracker\">avoid law enforcement activities<\/a>, operations,&rdquo;
