Homan Slams CNN for Promoting App That Tracks ICE

White House Border Czar Tom Homan strongly criticized CNN on Monday for promoting ICEBlock, an app that tracks ICE agents, and called for the DOJ to investigate.

Homan called the app “simply disgusting,” and added that “any network that covers that is disgusting as well.”

“It’s only a matter of time before ICE officers are going to be ambushed by some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing a Molotov cocktail, throwing bricks at these officers. This is just disgusting at every level, so I hope DOJ dives in this deeply, because ICE is concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats,” Homan said.

“This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. This shouldn’t be an issue anybody is against.[ICE agents are] already in a dangerous job going after the worst of the worst,” Homan said. “These guys are putting their lives on the line every day going after the worst of the worst, and a national security threat, and this app makes it much more dangerous. It’s incredible that those who enforce law, all of a sudden they’re the bad guys, the ones who break the law, they’re victims. It’s disgusting.”

Homan added that assaults on ICE agents have climbed 500%.

In addition, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons blasted CNN with similar sentiments.

“You know, one thing is, you know, they're saying for people to avoid ICE raids, right? But what they're doing is they're interfering and impeding and putting law enforcement officers at risk. So now you have an app that's actively promoting where a law enforcement action takes place. You know, I even take issue with CNN saying raids, right? This is the first time, like you said, we're taking a commonsense approach to law enforcement, and we're out there doing regular day-to-day law enforcement activities,” Lyons said. “This app only puts law enforcement's lives at risk because you're going to have people interfering in an ICE operation where they shouldn't even be there.”

Lyons added that ICE is working with the DOJ to see what to do next.
