Karoline Leavitt GOES OFF on CNN for promoting new app that lets leftists track down ICE agents

There has been a 500 percent increase in violence against ICE officers. This is what makes it appalling that CNN would promote an app intended to track their locations.

This is also why Karoline Leavitt had no choice but to slam the network for engaging in such reprehensible “reporting.”

According to CNN:

Joshua Aaron has worked in and around the tech industry for around two decades. His newest app is designed to let users alert people nearby to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area.

ICEBlock is designed to be an “early warning system” for users when ICE is operating nearby, Aaron said. Users can add a pin on a map showing where they spotted agents — along with optional notes, like what officers were wearing or what kind of car they were driving. Other users within a five-mile radius will then receive a push alert notifying them of the sighting. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before boarding the Marine One presidential helicopter and departing the White House on June 24, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Does that sound legal to you? Because something tells me this is a borderline incitement of violence….

ICE Acting Director Todd M. Lyons has issued the following statement regarding the app:

“CNN’s promotion of an ‘ICE spotting’ app is reckless and irresponsible,” said ICE acting Director Todd M. Lyons. “Advertising an app that basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers’ backs is sickening. My officers and agents are already facing a 500% increase in assaults, and going on live television to announce an app that lets anyone zero in on their locations is like inviting violence against them with a national megaphone. CNN is willfully endangering the lives of officers who put their lives on the line every day and enabling dangerous criminal aliens to evade U.S. law. Is this simply reckless ‘journalism’ or overt activism?”

Whether this app is truly newsworthy or just a not-so-subtle attempt by CNN to promote a tool for targeting ICE agents is unclear, and it may or may not fall under First Amendment protection. As Lyons put it, it’s hard to tell if this is “simply reckless ‘journalism’ or overt activism.” Either way, you’ll have to be the judge. What is clear, though, is that this kind of coverage only fuels hostility toward federal law enforcement, and CNN may have played a role in that. To call it a slap in the face to the brave men and women who serve and protect this country would be an understatement.
